Cell voltage will increase, either by decreasing the concentration of Cu2+  ion or by increasing the concentration of Ag+.

The Nernst equation is given as 

EMF= Ecello-0.0591nlog Qc

Qc=[Cu2+][Ag+]

Lesser is the value of Qc, greater is the cell voltage.

As Ag+ concentration increases , Qc value decreases and EMF increases.
