In this scenario, if the student moves the end of the compressed coiled spring faster while keeping everything else the same, the characteristic that will increase is frequency.
Frequency refers to how many waves pass a point in a given amount of time, and moving the spring faster will produce more waves in that same amount of time.
So the correct answer is:
frequency
