Wow. Good question.
Well, with the belief that Hell is in the center of the earth, and Heaven is above, then I'd go with Exo. Logically, It'd fit with the whole magma and lava thing. Does that mean that Hell will disappear when the earth eventually cools though? I dunno. It's supposed to exist for all of eternity right? Hmmmm.
Still though, for right now I'd go with Exo. Good question!
P.S. To the two people who quoted the "Hell explained by a chemistry student" article, at least have the class to give credit where credit is due. Here's one posting of it, but there are many others. http://whiskeytango.blogster.com/hell_explained_chemistry.html
"The following is an actual question given on a
University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The
answer by one student was so "profound" that the
professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet,
which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of
enjoying it as well.."

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So, we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving.
I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
As for how many souls are 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, you will go to Hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and since most people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all 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 of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand as souls are added. This gives two possibilities.
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.
Of course, 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 postulate given to me by Ms. Therese Banyan during my 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 (2) cannot be true and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic.

change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
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 postulate given to me by Teresa last year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen
over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

both:endothermic because heat can be associated with love and good things so Hell can not be exothermic. it's said that there people burn 4 ever but that burning it's not sure it comes from a hot thing lyk fire or something. that thing can be anything else lyk your thoughts or I don't know.i can not know and sincerely I don't want to find out

Hell is exothermic, and you are endothermic when you're sitting there. Sucks, huh?

I don't think it is either of them. But if I were to guess, exothermic.

Neither. Hell is a state of mind,not an actual place.

very exothermic...everything is buring ie; giving off heat
