Decrease
when money supply is increased, interest rates decrease
It doesn't. Money supply has no effect on aggregate demand. Aggregate demand is only effected by the buying power of money, real interest rate, and the real prices of exports and imports. If the supply of money goes up it only causes a short term decrease in the nominal interest rate. The price level is not accompanied by a decrease in the supply of money so the real interest rate does not rise.
An increase in the money supply shifts the money supply curve to the right. If you look on your graph, you will see that an increase in money supply will cause the interest rate to decrease. Here's why: Fed increases money supply-->excess supply of money at the current interest rate -->people buy bonds to get rid of their excess money-->increase in the prices of bonds --> decrease in the interest rate.
Because: Real interest rate occurs when real money demand = money supply When money supply changes, the equilibrium interest rates changes as this equation shows.
When the interest rates are high, people would prefer to save than holding money. That means money supply in the economy is decreased. Whereas when the interest rates are low people prefer to hold money and spend, means increased money supply in the economy.

money supply and intrest rates
If the demand for money is greater than the supply, interest rates will go up.Whenever the demand for anything is greater than the available supply, the price goes up.
Tightening the money supply
The money supply curve is assumed to be vertical by many textbooks based on the belief that the supply of money is unaffected by the changes in interest rates.
In general, increasing the money supply will decrease interest rates. Intrest rates reflect the amount paid for the use of money. As the money supply increases, money becomes relatively less scarce and easier to obtain. As with any other good as the supply increases, while demand remains constant, the price will fall. In this case the price of money is the interest rate.
Monetary policy will never be effective if interest rates: not respond to a change in the money supply, and investment spending does not respond to changes in the interest rate.
