Since the firms were facing long run equilibrium and were enjoying zero profit, an increase in price will cause profit to firms.
Since in the short run firms can not enter or exit they will continue producing.
In the long run attracted by the profit earned by existing firms, the new firms will enter the market till all the firms are having zero profits.
