Answer:

It will decrease in speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

In our daily lives, it is more common to witness sound propagating in the air, but nothing prevents sound waves in liquids and solids. In fact, air is not a good medium for sound propagation. Despite causing the sound to travel at a relatively high speed of approximately 340 m / s, liquids allow the waves to propagate even faster.

Solids are also efficient propagation media, however, when sound waves pass through them, the speed of the sound wave is decreased.
