Would you expect the East Pacific Rise to get wider or narrower in the future? Why?

Gdub08:

East Pacific Rise, linear submarine volcanic chain on the floor of the southeastern Pacific Ocean, roughly paralleling the west coast of South America. The East Pacific Rise forms part of the circumglobal system of active volcanic ridges, all of which define the position of diverging plates where new crust is being created. Such ridges represent the locus of global shallow-water earthquakes

Unforgettxble:

it will get wider because you got plates that are pulling apart so like new crust and gap will form over time.
