Consumption will be reduced, as higher price means less demand, and hence less sales.

Will Substitution effect come in the scene?
As there is an increase in price so ppl will shift to substitute product!!???

Yes, maybe.
That depends on the nature of the person.

Some people might love lemonade, and might also be very rich, so they will continue buying the 2 dollar lemonade.
But the ones who can't afford to pay the double price, will stop buying it, or at least reduce its consumption.

The overall effect on the economy will be that it's consumption will be reduced.

Concentrate more on the given facts and figures in the data provided! They said explain your answer using the data above so instead of diverting towards substitution efftects etc, focus more on how to relate your answer to consumption and marginal and total utility!
