The rate of the reaction will accelerate because there will be more effective collisions of the reactants. Reactant particles will collide more often if they are crowded in a small place, that is frequency of collision is dependent on concentration.

The rate of conversion increases because you upset the equilibrium.

because there is more of it to undergo the reaction...
