Answer: the acceleration increases

Step-by-step explanation:

acceleration is equal to the rate of change in velocity per unit time:


a=(\Delta v)/(\Delta t)

where
\Delta v is the change in velocity and
\Delta t is the variation of time.

In this problem, we are told that the change in velocity increases: this means that the term
\Delta v in the formula increases, so the acceleration a must increase as well.
