mistake in solutions manual for 15.20(c)

Question 15.20 deals with the following reaction,

    2A (g) + B(g) <=> A2B (g)

15.20(c) asks if the following is true or false,

"For the equilibrium, the value of Kc increases with
increasing pressure".

The solution manual states this is true.  It is NOT.
This is FALSE.  The value of K does NOT change
when concentration changes or pressure changes
(at constant temp.).  The only thing that changes
the numeric value of K is a temperature change.
