Answer:

It will stop working aka degrade

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes are sensitive to change in heat, temperature, pH and other stuff. If temperature gets too high or too much heat, the bonds that hold together the protein break apart and protein unfolds (and even degrades). This causes enzyme to stop working.
