Answer:

The velocity will increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wave velocity and the temperature of the medium are directly proportional so if the temperature increases, the velocity will increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it will increase a little bit ... just image ... if the temperature is 0, the velocity will be 0 too. because the vibration of atom is so weak and the sound cant progation.
