A mixture of equal amounts of 2-chloro-2-methylbutane and acetic acid with an inert solvent was boiled and allowed to react under a reflux condenser. One of the products of the reaction is tert-pentyl acetate. Will the rate of the reaction increase, decrease, or remain unchanged when the concentration of acetic acid is quadrupled?
