raising the temperature of a reaction mixture at equilibrium will shift the reaction in the endothermic direction

The yield of NH3 Increases when the amount of NH3 decreases because if the yield didn't increase then system wouldn't be in chemical equilibrium, decreasing product leads to more reactions on the reactant side which lead to an increase in product.
