A group of astronomers plotted data for various main sequence stars.

A graph showing the relationship between stellar mass on the x-axis, measured in solar masses ranging from 0.1 to 20, and surface temperature on the y-axis, measured in Kelvin ranging from 3,000 K to 35,000 K. A smooth curve rises from the bottom-left to the top-right, showing that stars with a higher mass have a higher surface temperature.

State how the surface temperature of a main sequence star changes as its mass increases.
