No, viscosity, the property that makes honey, say, flow slower than water, goes up - becomes more thick - as the temperature decreases.
A high viscosity liquid like, say, cold molasses, flows very slowly. Its viscosity is high. To make cold molasses flow faster, it is warmed so that its viscosity goes down. (But the 'runniness' increases) This is a hard term . . . think of viscosity as the ability to resist flowing, or to resist cutting with a knife.
BUT . . . and what is confusing is that while viscosity goes down, runniness increases, if that helps, any.

What is the effect of pressure on viscosity?
As temperature increases viscosity decreases.
What does viscous liquid depend on?
Liquid's viscocity depends on temperature. As a rule, viscosity drops with the increase of temperature.
What happens to volume as temperature changes?
if volume of a gas increases temperature also increases
As altitude increases in the Troposphere does the temperature increase?
No, the temperature does not increase in fact it decreases as the altitude increases yes it does.
Does humidity increase when temperature increases?
No, it only increases when the water level increases; it is not a matter of temperature.
In general an increase in temperature?
A general increase in temperature increases the reaction rate.
What will change viscocity?
Temperature, pressure.
Does the temperature in the troposphere increase as the altitude increases?
No, the temperature in the troposphere decreases as the altitude increases.
How does a substances temperature change when the average kinetic energy of its particles increases When it decreases?
It decreases in relation to lower temperature.
What compound increase in solubility as temperature increase?
The vast majority of compounds increase in solubility as the temperature increases.
What are the impacts of temperature on gas?
The impacts of temperature on gas are manifold. Increase in temperature increases the gas pressure by increasing its volume. It increases the solubility of gas and vice-verse. The viscosity of gas also increases with increase in temperature.
How is the rate of reaction affected when the temperature increases?
As the temperature increases, the reaction time decreases.
