  • When a spring is compressed, the work done to compress the coil gets stored in the form of potential energy. 
  • Therefore, we can say that when a spring is compressed, its potential energy increases. 
  • When the spring is released, this potential energy is used to expand it.

Therefore, 'Increases' is the correct response.
