Answer

Electrical conductivity of copper decreases with increase in temperature because the metallic conductivity is due to the motion of electrons. On increasing temperature the motion of electron increases which hindered in conductance of current. While in case of CuSO4 the molar conductivity increases with increases in temperature thus it conductivity increases.
