Solution

The correct option is B it increases
Given reaction,
$P C l_{5} (g) ⇌ P C l_{3} (g) + C l_{2} (g)$
When we add $P C l_{5}$ to the equilibrium mixture at constant temperature in closed vessel its concentration will increase.
By Le Chatelier's principle, to nullify the effect the equilibrium is shifted to right so that more $P C l_{5}$ is consumed and the effect is nullified. Due to equilibrium shift to right hand side, the product concentration will increase. Hence, the equilibrium concentration of $C l_{2}$ increases
