What will happen if the price of substitute good increase?

What will happen if the price of substitute good increase?
Let A and B be substitute goods. If the price of A increases, the quantity demanded of A decreases (law of demand). Because consumers can easily buy good B instead of good A, they will purchase more of good B (because good A is more expensive) and hence the demand for good B will increase.
