Answer:

The absorption lines will shift to the red (become longer).

This is because of the extra distance that a wavelength λ must travel between the vibrations of the source producing the spectrum.

Note that the Doppler effect of the source is slightly different for light waves than it is for sound waves because sound waves require a medium in which to travel while light waves do not require such a medium (example air).
