decreasing
Humid air is hot and associated with cyclonic systems. For this reason the pressure will decrease and the barometer will fall.
Since colder air is denser than warm air, the pressure will usually rise.
Humid air is warm, warm air expands so the barometric pressure will fall.

Decreases
Not normally before a warm front, precipitation comes before and after a cold front. When you have warm air and a cold front comes through, you mix warm with cold and that brings precipitation.
Temperature is lowered. Humidity is increased in a cold front.
A barometer reading would change with a cold front because the density of mercury will change with temperature, so a reading must be adjusted for the temperature of the instrument. For this purpose a mercury thermometer is usually mounted on the instrument. Temperature compensation of an aneroid barometer is accomplished by including a bi-metal element in the mechanical linkages. Aneroid barometers sold for domestic use typically have no compensation.
no because when a warm front comes in then it will be warm, but if a cold front comes in then it will be cooler.
Generally speaking, a falling barometer indicates a cold front. Studying barometric readings from around the country , meteorologists can draw an imaginary "line" from one to another low or falling reading. This line indicates a "front" (cold front in this case). The same is true with high or rising readings for a warm front. That is a bit of an oversimplification, but that is the basics of it.
When a cold front hits, usually the warm air rises.
It pretty much sits still as the Warm Front passes 'overhead'. It will get pushed back/up a bit.
warm front rises on top of the cold front.

The answer to this question is, the Mercury and aneroid barometer

A barometer does not measure temperature it measures pressure.
during cold weather like rain storms or snow storms the barometer goes down. During warm weather the barometer goes up.
Precipitation usually comes before or during the passage of a cold front.
When the cold front comes, the air mass gets lighter and thinner.
