What happens to the validity of an argument within a formal system when a premise is added?

💡 Explanation

The validity of an argument using Inference Rules may decrease or remain the same because adding a premise might introduce inconsistencies that invalidate the conclusion; therefore, validity is not guaranteed to increase, rather than remaining constant or becoming indeterminate under all conditions.
