The correct answer is: **the wavelength decreases.**
In the relationship between wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) of light, they are inversely related through the equation:
\[ c = f \cdot \lambda \]
where \( c \) is the speed of light. As the frequency (f) increases, the wavelength (λ) must decrease in order to maintain the constant speed of light.
