Potential difference and power — practice question

If a battery is joined to a resistor, the battery slowly warms up. As a result, the battery’s internal resistance increases while its electromotive force (e.m.f.) remains constant. When the internal resistance of the battery rises, what happens to the terminal potential difference and the output power, if anything?
