It does so absolutely.

Explanation:

$Concentration$ $"Concentration"$ $=$ $=$ $\frac{Amount of stuff}{Volume that stuff is dissolved in}$ $"Amount of stuff"/"Volume that stuff is dissolved in"$ .

Typically, we use $molar concentrations$ $"molar concentrations"$ $=$ $=$ $\frac{moles of stuff}{volume of solution}$ $"moles of stuff"/"volume of solution"$ .

If we increase the volume by dilution, we are inevitably going to REDUCE the concentration. Capisce?
