Solution

The correct option is C $P C l_{5} will become less$
When $C O$ is added to the above system, the second reaction will go backwards in accordance with Le Chatelier's principle and hence, the concentration of the common molecule, i.e. $C l_{2}$ will also reduce.
So, to counter the decreased concentration of chlorine, first equilibrium will go forward and hence, the concentration of $P C l_{5}$ will decreased.
