There are some problems with the conventional theory on this.
1. Hell is infinitely large and has infinite mass. Therefore, it cannot expand.
2. The reaction that causes the fires of Hell to burn for eternity must be fueled by something that never depletes or exists in infinite quantity, unless Hell is supplied by fuel from somewhere else.
3. Souls have no physical mass. Therefore, the collective mass of Hell does NOT increase when a soul enters.
4. Hell does not exist on the physical plane and is not subject to the laws of physics as we understand them.
Based on this, I would say that Hell is in an eternal state of unchanging equilibrium (neither endo- nor exo-thermic).

Stolen from a website:
"First, We postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for souls entering hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, then you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and souls go to hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant. Two options exist:
1. If hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.
2. If hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.
So which is it? If we accept the quote given to me by Theresa Manyan during Freshman year, "that it will be a cold night in hell before I sleep with you" and take into account the fact that I still have NOT succeeded in having sexual relations with her, then Option 2 cannot be true...Thus, hell is exothermic."
The student, Tim Graham, got the only A.

I would probably be able to answer your question or at least give my opinion. If only I knew the definition of exothermic and endothermic!

Not that I believe in hell but it would only be endothermic if it froze over.

I believe it is hyperthermic as opposed to hypothermic. Hypothermia can kill you, the opposite may be true of the opposite of hypothermia.

The only way to answer that is to go to hell!!!!

Well you've succeeded in making me feel stupid, I really have know idea, right over my head.

are you thinking that hell is physical/spritiual realm where "bad people" go to?

Must be endo-, or else we should be able to feel it by now.
