Answer

Surface tension must increase.

Work Step by Step

Since surface tension is the energy required to cause a liquid's surface area to expand, higher intermolecular forces cause the molecules of the substance to be more strongly held together. As a result, more energy is required to break these forces and expand the substance's surface area.
