Answer:

Decrease
Explanation:
I = Current = 3.7 A
e = Charge of electron = 
n = Conduction electron density in copper = 
= Drift velocity of electrons
r = Radius = 1.23 mm
Current is given by

The drift speed of the electrons is 

From the equation we can see the following

So, if the number of conduction electrons per atom is higher than that of copper the drift velocity will decrease.
Average speed = (1/2) (beginning speed + ending speed)
= (1/2) ( 13 m/s + 30 m/s )
= (1/2) ( 43 m/s )
= 21.5 m/s
