Answer;

Decrease

Step-by-step explanation;

  • Chemical reaction may be either endothermic or exothermic based on whether they use heat energy or release it to the surroundings.
  • An endothermic reaction occurs when the temperature of an isolated system decreases while the surroundings of a non-isolated system gains heat.
  • In endothermic reactions the temperature of the surroundings decreases.
