Total energy increases.

Explanation: Total energy is the sum of all different types of energies a body can have. A molecule can have Kinetic energy due to it's random motion, potential energy due to it's bonding with other molecules, rotational kinetic energy due to it's rotation. In this case, total energy is the sum of all these.

this could be newton#'s law of cooling. the cooling curve is exponential
