Consider the following equilibrium in a closed container, \[{{N}_{2}}{{O}_{4(g)}}2N{{O}_{2(g)}}\]. At a fixed temperature, the volume of the reaction mixture is halved. For this change, which of the following statements holds true regarding the equilibrium constant\[({{K}_{p}})\]and degree of dissociation \[(\alpha )\]?

A) Neither\[({{K}_{p}})\]  nor \[\alpha \] changes.

B) Both \[{{K}_{p}}\]and\[\alpha \] change.

C) \[{{K}_{p}}\]changes but\[\alpha \]does not.

D) \[{{K}_{p}}\]does not change but\[\alpha \]changes
