Answer:The population of the predator increases

Explanation:

When there is increase in their food supply predators will also increase in order to feed on their preys and they will be concentrated in that are where there are preys.

The increase in food means the increase in those who feed on it, it is the same as where there is lot of green grass you will always find more herbivores in that area grazing on that ground.
