In a simple model used to analyze UV photoelectron spectra, the orbital energies of the neutral molecule

Question:

In a simple model used to analyze UV photoelectron spectra, the orbital energies of the neutral molecule and the cation formed by ejection of an electron are assumed to be the same. In fact, some relaxation occurs to compensate for the reduction in the number of electrons by one. Would you expect the orbital energies to increase or decrease in the relaxation? Explain your answer.
