The rate would increase because more molecules would collide at the activation energy, which will cause more molecules to react, and thus it will speed up the reaction rate.
The part of the phospholipid bilayer that interacts with water would be the hydrophilic portion consisting of the polar phosphate group. The hydrophobic tails which are the fatty acid chains will not interact with the water present in the aqueous environment.
