The lambda parameter in ridge regression penalizes larger coefficients and pushes the model to balance the trade-off between fitting the data the best it can while taking into account the size of the coefficient. As a result coefficients are generally pushed closer to zero, which a larger amount of shrinkage for larger values of lambda.
