When a spacecraft leaves our solar system, will its speed increase, decrease or remain the same?

Once excaping te earth's gravity, it may speed up a lttle. Afer that, its velocity will stay the unless another force acts on it. Remember that space is a vacuum, with no air or other molecules to slow a space craft down.
