Answer:

It increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of the compressor is to circulate the refrigerant in the system under pressure, this concentrates the heat it contains. At the compressor, the low pressure gas is changed to high pressure gas.
