Answer:

You should switch doors to improve your chances.

Here's the logic:

1 - When you first choose your door, you have a 1 in 3 chance of getting the car.
2 - No matter which door you choose, Monty Hall will open a door with a goat.
3 - This leaves 2 doors, one with the car and the other with a goat.
4 - At this point, if you stay with your first choice, you still have 1 in 3 chance of winning because you made your initial choice with 3 doors. Nothing has changed here.
5 - If you switch though, it improves to a 2 in 3 proposition.
