The correct response is:
**The wavelength decreases.**
In general, wavelength and frequency are inversely related in a wave. When the frequency increases, the wavelength decreases, assuming the speed of the wave remains constant. This relationship is described by the formula \( v = f \lambda \), where \( v \) is the speed of the wave, \( f \) is the frequency, and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength.
