Effects of changing propeller rpm on propeller pitch

During a glide with idle power and constant IAS, if the RPM lever of a constant speed propeller is pulled back from its normal cruise position, the propeller pitch will:
decrease and the rate of descent will decrease.
increase and the rate of descent will increase.
decrease and the rate of descent will increase.
increase and the rate of descent will decrease.

If anybody could explain this i would be grateful...just can't get my head around it!!!
