Detailed Solution

In semiconductors the energy gap between conduction band and valence band is small ( 1 eV).  Due  to temperature rise, electron  in the valence band gained thermal energy and may jump across the small energy gap, goes in to the conduction band. Thus conductivity increases and hence resistance decreases.
