Answer:

Remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction of the temperature of the content of the container will remain the same because no heat energy is transfer from the container to the external environment due to insulating material of the container. Insulators are poor conductor of heat and electricity so the container is unable to absorb the heat energy produced during a chemical reaction and all energy of the product remain the same.
