Solution

The correct option is B may increase or decrease
When the temperature of the endothermic reaction is increased, the value of the equilibrium constant increases.
However, when the temperature of the exothermic reaction is increased, the value of the equilibrium constant decreases.

So, With an increase in temperature, the value of equilibrium may increase or decrease.

Hence, the correct option is $C$
