increases

Explanation:

The ability of air to hold moisture is related to temperature directly - as the temperature decreases, so does the amount of moisture it can carry. This is govern by the same solubility equilibrium principles you may have learned about in chemistry class.

as the temperature drops, the ability of the air to retain its moisture decreases - once the temperature hits a critical amount, excess water in the air will condense on surfaces (we call this dewpoint)
