There's a general rule which applies here!

Accuracy: (change method of measuring to obtain results as close as possible to the true value)

Reliable: (to have results which are as repeatable as possible)

And what exactly you've to write will depend upon the question!
Eg. you can change some apparatus and use a better one which is more accurate!
and you may increase the range of temperatures/volumes etc to increase reliablity! :)
