Answer

decreases

Reason — When a substance is heated, its particles move faster and spread farther apart, causing the substance to expand so its volume increases.

Since density is defined as mass ÷ volume and the mass remains the same while the volume increases, the density decreases.

Hence, the density of a substance decreases with the increase in the temperature.
