Oddly enough, evaporation is endothermic. To tell the difference, simply ask yourself, must heat be added or taken away for a phase change to occur. If heat must be added it is endothermic, if heat must be taken away it is exothermic. In the case of evaporation in most cases you must raise the temperature for a substance to evaporate, thus it is endothermic.
