Answer: The deer population will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the prey depends on the population of the predators as they eat them to get energy.If there are more predators than prey then the number of prey will be less.

Here, in this case the wolves eat deer and the population of deer will decrease if the population of wolves will increase.
