Answer: They lose energy.

Explanation: Condensation of the gas will lead to the loss of energy of the molecules within the gas. Condensation process is an Exothermic process.

Condensation process is the process in which the vapor phase changes into the liquid phase thus it will release energy having negative enthalpy of the reaction.
