If the beaker gets hot, that means it's losing thermal energy. It's exothermic.
if there's a source of heat that's causing the substances to react then it's endothermic. but, if it's reacting on it's own the it's exothermic.
Your reaction is giving out heat - thats why the beaker is getting hot.
So, your reaction is exothermic
the question has ambiguity
it is not clear
i will answer two ways i figured the question could have been.
if u are increasing the temperature then it it endothermic
if it increasing on it's own then it is exothermic.
