It is shameful to speed up intentionally when one can slow down watchful of the traffic following.However if there is no option, then after hitting a deer crossing the road it is best to continue driving to avoid any fatal accidents from the traffic following.The injured deer may totter off the road or lie on the road causing accident to the oncoming drivers who may try to avoid hitting it at risk or just run over it. It is best to report about the injured deer to the highway patrol.
Subsequently the animal will be crushed or be a hazard obstacle till the highway patrol removes it.
Another View: ACTUALLY - the best advice is NOT that you speed up, but that you take your foot off the gas, but maintain your straight-ahead direction of travel and NOT try to swerve to avoid the animal.
Obviously you should not intentionally aim to strike them but, despite the above response, more accidents and injuries to HUMANS are caused by trying to swerve to avoid animals than by steadily maintaining your direction of travel.

Drive slower, watch for animal crossing warning signs on the highway and slow down even more when you see one. Look far ahead on the sides of the road for animals, especially deer. If you run upon a deer do not swerve to miss the deer. Hit your brakes hard and keep going straight.

They don't, they would prefer a long and fruitful life like most of us, it's just unfortunate that humans have built roads through the deers natural habitat. The Department of Transportation needs to place the "Deer Crossing" signs in a safer area. LOL!
