Answer

There are three possibilities:
  1. If the relative (percentage) increase in demand is greater than the increase in supply, price will rise.
The price will rise because of excess demand in the market.
  1. If the relative (percentage) increase in demand is less than the increase in supply, price will fall.
The price will fall because of excess supply in market.
  1. If the relative (percentage) increase in demand is equal to the increase in supply, price will remain unchanged.
The price will remain unchanged because there is neither excess demand nor excess supply in the market.
