The amplitude of the sound wave will increase.
Explanation: "Louder" means greater intensity (higher pressure variations), which corresponds to larger amplitude. The pitch (frequency) stays the same, so wavelength doesn't change (speed v = f·λ is fixed by the medium), and sound speed depends on the medium, not loudness.
