Answer:

The demand for pork would decrease and the equilibrium price of pork would decrease.

Explanation:

Substitute goods are goods that can be consumed in place of each other.

If the price of chicken falls, consumers would increase the quantity demanded of chicken and reduce their demand for pork. The fall in the demand for pork would lead to a leftward shift in the demand curve for pork. A leftward shift in the demand curve while the supply curve remains unchanged would lead to a fall in equilibrium price of pork.
