Answer:

Increasing the temperature

Increasing particle size

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing the temperature allows for particles and molecules to move faster (because there is an increase in energy) and allows for more collisions.

∴ Increasing the temperature would be an answer.

Increasing the particle size allows for more surface area and a greater chance for particles to collide with each other.

∴ Increasing particle size would be an answer.
