Neither.
As # solute particles increases, freezing point decreases and vapor pressure decreases.
As # solute particles increase, vapor pressure gets smaller and boiling point gets larger.
I like this statement that summarizes it all.
As the number of solute particles increases, three things happen.
a. f.p is lowered.
b. b.p. is raised.
c. v.p. is lowered.
As the number of solute particles in a given volume of solution increase will:
freezing point increase, vapor press decrease? or vice versa
or
boiling point increase, vapor pressure decrease? or vice versa?
