    Answer:increased

    Explanation:

    It is given that elevator speed is increasing while moving upward i. e. its acceleration is increasing.

    This causes the apparent to be increased if measured using weighing machine.

    considering upward direction to be positive

    N-mg=ma

    N=m (g+a)

    where N=Normal reaction=Apparent weight

    a=acceleration of Elevator

    thus you feel as if your weight is increased.
