Its components will vibrate more and its temperature will increase. Increasing the source of heat temperature the crystal will melt. More increase in temperature it will evaporate. The necessary temperature to melt or to evaporate depends on the nature of the crystal. Some crystals (like iodine I2) will evaporate without liquefying. Its is called sublimation. Others are so stable that the crystal will never melt in the possible temperatures in earth (like diamond).
In short, when you heat a crystal, you increase the vibration of the atoms that form it. If the energy necessary to break the bonds (non covalent or covalent) between them is reached, than it will change state.
You can sweat on this. O. K. ?

it depends on the substance eg copper sulphate will lose its water of hydration and colour yet sugar will melt and lose hydrogen and oxygen molecules leaving carbon behind.

will crack and sometimes explode at high temp (375-450 deg.F)
