Answer:

The principal energy level remains the same

Step-by-step explanation:

A principal energy level is one defines where electrons reside in an atom and that can contain one or more sub levels and have 2·n² number of electrons located in different sub levels within the energy level. Therefore, when moving up from s to p within the same principal energy level, the principal energy level does not change value.
