Decrease it

Explanation:

Intrinsic motivation refers to behavior that is driven by internal rewards. In other words, the motivation to engage in a behavior arises from within the individual because it is naturally satisfying to you. The money given to him by his parents will shift the focus from the internal reward, hence the motivation he gets from within reduces.
