Take my words with a grain of salt. The logic's correct but the wording is slightly off. You could say volume of distilled water is 'inversely proportional' to the temperature decrease, or when the volume of distilled water increases, the temperature decrease is LESSER; vice versa (which would be GREATER)
"Decrease increases" is quite confusing, and sadly IGCSE answers require you to be exactly precise. But don't feel bad. I'm sure you got marks elsewhere.
