Answer:

its viscosity will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Corn syrup has high viscosity and used as a sweetener in foods. Corn syrup is formed by the hydrolysis of cornstarch that includes glucose, maltose and other substances.

Viscosity and temperature are inversely proportional to each other. it means if the Corn syrup having high viscosity will be heated up, its viscosity will decrease because when a liquid is heated up, its molecules start moving faster and break the forces that bind the molecules together and loses its viscosity.

Hence, the correct answer is "its viscosity will decrease."
