Definitely, a physical change.
What are chemical and physical changes?
A chemical change is a type of change involving the chemical composition of substances. The chemical composition changes completely and lost its old identity.
Chemical changes are unlike physical changes. The latter involves changes to the physical characteristics of substances. The changes do not get to the chemical level.
Thus, chemical changes are ordinarily not reversible but physical changes can be reversed.
