as the air passes over the wet bulb thermometer the water in the cloth evaporates. as the water evaporates the cloth cools. if the humidity is low the water will evaporate more quickly and the temperature reading on the wet bulb thermometer will drop. if the humidity is high only a little bit of water will evaporate from the cloth of the wet bulb thermometer and the change in temperature will be small.
the relative humidity will decrease.
The relative humidity is higher.
wet bulb and dry bulb temps.
at 17% relative humidity the dew point is -5.8C at a dry bulb of 20C

for air water system wet bulb equals to dry bulb at 100 % relative humidity for that given temperature of air.
dry bulb temperature simply tells us the temperature of dry air.but the comfort also depends on humidity ie. water vapour presents in the air.Wet bulb temperature measures the humidity in the air.Because the evaporation of water in the bulb wick depends on the relative humidity of surrounding air.
answer is
A sling psychrometer (or hygrometer) uses the difference in readings between a wet bulb thermometer and another with a dry bulb to measure the relative humidity. The bulb that is wet will cool by evaporation to the "dew point", which is the temperature at which the current humidity would be the maximum possible. Comparing that to the dry bulb (the general air temperature) on a comparative chart will yield the approximate relative humidity.
51%.... open to the Relative Humidity chart in the reference tables. the wet bulb temperature is -1C and the dry bulb temp. is 2C, making a difference of 3C. On RH chart, go down to 3C column (difference between the Wet bulb and dry bulb) until it intersects the dry bulb 2C. At this intersection is 51%

You would use both to determine the relative humidity.
Hygrometer
How you would use a wet-bulb thermoter and a dry-bulb theremometer to fine the relative humidity?
