it depends on the amount of air blown.....if he blows it with more pressure it will lead to high pitches

Answer: In the given situation, the pitch of the note produced on closing the holes near the mouth of the flute will increase.
Explanation:
The pitch of a note produced depends on the length of the column of air(volume of air) that vibrates.
In case the holes near the mouth are closed, the length of the air column is reduced and therefore, a lower volume of air vibrates resulting in the production a note with a higher pitch.
