Detailed Solution

pOH of H2O =7.0 (at 298K ) 

Le Chattier's principles state that forward reaction is preferred because it absorbs heat. As a result, when the temperature rises, the excess heat would be absorbed.

H2O+H2OH3O++OH

⟶ the pH falls, as temperature increases.

⟶ also the pOH decreases since the value of pKw  itself decreases.
