Potential difference and power — practice question

When a battery is connected to a resistor, the battery slowly heats up. This makes the battery's internal resistance rise while its e.m.f. remains the same. As the internal resistance of the battery rises, what happens, if anything, to the terminal potential difference and the output power?
