Solution:

$H _2 O (\ell) \rightleftharpoons H _{( aq )}^{++} OH -{ }_{( aq )}$
For ionization of $H _2 O : \Delta H >0 \Rightarrow ENDOTHERMIC$
On temperature increase reaction shifts forward
$\Rightarrow$ both $\left[ H ^{+}\right]$and $\left[ OH ^{-}\right]$increase
$\Rightarrow p H \& p O H$ decreases
