Answer:

decrease.

Explanation:

The air pressure is given by

P = h x d x g

where, h is the height of air column above the surface and g be the acceleration due to gravity and d be the density of air.

As we go up, the height of air column decreases, density of air decreases and acceleration due to gravity also decreases, so the value of pressure decreases at altitudes.
