How will a decrease in an economy’s overall money supply impact aggregate demand?

When the money supply decreases, real GDP decreases, and consumers have less money to buy goods and services. When money becomes tight, most consumers cut discretionary spending (entertainment, dining out, retail purchases, etc.).

How will an increase in an economy’s overall money supply impact aggregate demand?
