It will decrease. The amount of energy that a producer makes will be used to maintain the needs of the primary consumer. That reduced amount will be used by the secondary consumer for their needs (growth and reproduction). That really leaves very little to be passed on. That is the reason why the numbers get smaller and smaller as you go up the food chain. There just isn't enough energy for many in the third level.

What happens to the energy as you move from step to step in a chain or web?

what happens is that the energy that was to start with will be broken and half of that will go to continue the cycle because the energy that does not move on is being used by the producer, consumer or scavenger depending on which stage of the food chain or web it is on.
