Answer

Decreasing.

Work Step by Step

If we used the right-hand rule by pointing the thump in the direction of the electric field, which is out of the page, the other fingers move counterclockwise which is in the opposite direction of the magnetic field. Thus, we get a negative value of $d\Phi_e/dt$ which means that the electric field here $\bf decreases$.
