No, I'm not going to answer it but I am going to tell you something which one of my first instructors told me 40 years ago. It's the answer to just about every altimeter question so just remember this:

When you turn the subscale setting up (ie increase the millibar reading) the altitude increases. When you turn the subscale down the altitude decreases. That's the indicated altitude on the altimeter we're talking about...

Now apply that to your question because it will provide the answer.
