The demand curve will shift to the left thus, decreasing the both, the level of price and the output of the economy.

Explanation:

increase in taxes x tax multiplier = effect of taxes

150 billons x - 1.3 = - 195 billions

This will make the aggregate demand decrease.

However, if this increase in taxes is backed up with government spending will end up with a positive effect as the governement spending also has a multiplier effect which is greater than tax multiplier by one unit.
