remains constant.....it's not like sound in which there is Doppler effect....so I guess it will be constant...as Albert Einstein said !

This is a trick question:

The Doppler effect states that as you move closer to the source, the frequency of light(or sound/waves in general) increases, but technically the speed of light is always the same speed, even if you are moving at the speed of light.

Thus, the answer would be something along the lines of don't change.
