    it increases-

    Explanation:

    When the mass of a rocket decreases as it burns through its fuel and the force (thrust) is constant then by newtons second law of motion

    F = ma here F is constant this means that ma = constant

    ⇒ m = F / a this implies that mass is inversely proportional to acceleration.

    its means when the mass decreases the acceleration must increase. hence the acceleration increases
