Nope. It decreases. By lowering the melting/freezing point of water, salt (usually in the form of rock salt) can be used to keep roads and other surfaces clear of ice, as it requires lower temperatures than normal to freeze.

What does the salt do to the melting point of water?
Salt lowers the melting point of water. The water will have to be at a colder temperature to freeze since the salt inhibits the waters ability to form ice crystals at the normal freezing temperature.
How does salt raises the melting point of water?
It doesn't increase the melting point of ice, instead, it lowers it. When a solute (which is the salt) is added to a solvent (which is what dissolves it), the boiling point is increased while both the freezing and melting points are decreased. This is evident in the boiling point elevation and the freezing/melting point depression system.
Is the melting point of table salt physical or chemical property?
The melting point is a physical property.
What will happen to the melting point of ice if some common salt is added to it?
The melting point is lowered.
The melting point of the salt sodium chloride (NaCl) is .?
The melting point of sodium chloride ie 801 oC.
Does salt increase the melting point?
Yes......
Will the melting point of ice increase or decrease when salt is added on it?
The melting point of ice decreases when salt is added.

How does one increase the melting or boiling point of a substance?
Add impurities (salt and others) to the substance.
What do you think salt does to the melting point of ice?
Salt lowers the melting point of ice.
