As f ---> 0,
The phase < of the inductor approaches pi/2
The phase < of the resistor approaches 0

As f ---> infinity
The phase < of the inductor approaches 0
The phase < of the resistor approaches pi/2

So the phase over the resistor definitely increases, but the overall phase angle will depend on what the previous phase angle was before you started increasing the frequency.

Phase angle = tan(inverse) [2pifL/R]. So f is increase then phase angle is increase.

I can not understand this answer.

Can you provide us equations ?
