Answer:

Kinetic energy increases.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a solid, molecules do not have much room to move. They are very slow moving, which means that kinetic energy is low. In a liquid, molecules have more room to move. They are able to move faster than a solid, which means that kinetic energy is low.

From greatest to lowest kinetic energy:

gas, liquid, solid
