To find the value of \( \sqrt{12} \) and determine between which two integers it lies, we can first calculate it.

1. We know that:
\[
3^2 = 9
\]
\[
4^2 = 16
\]
Since \( 9 < 12 < 16 \), it follows that:
\[
3 < \sqrt{12} < 4
\]

Next, we can confirm this by approximating \( \sqrt{12} \).

2. We can express \( \sqrt{12} \) as:
\[
\sqrt{12} = \sqrt{4 \times 3} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3}
\]

3. Approximate \( \sqrt{3} \) (which is approximately \( 1.732 \)):
\[
2\sqrt{3} \approx 2 \times 1.732 \approx 3.464
\]

This confirms that:
\[
3 < \sqrt{12} < 4
\]

Thus, the value of \( \sqrt{12} \) is between the integers 3 and 4.

Therefore, the answer is **3 and 4**.
