Answer:

increases, decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

The density of a body is the measure of mass concentration of a material. It is an intrinsic property which is constant. It is the ratio of mass and volume

m = Mass

v = Volume

Density


\rho=(m)/(v)

This means that density is inversely proportional to volume.

So, if volume increases density will decrease.
