Answer:

Her pupils get larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

Iris is the coloured part of the eye. Pupil refers to the hole or opening present in the middle of iris. Iris serves to regulate the amount of light entering the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil. As Mina enters the dark theater, contraction of radial iris muscles leads to increased size of pupil to allow more light to enter the eye for image formation.
