Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, an electric motor move faster if we increase the voltage because by increasing voltage we supply more energy in the form of current. Voltage means energy available per unit charge so if the voltage increases more energy is available for an electric motor in the form of electric current and by using more energy they move with high speed. The unit of Voltage is volts.
