Solution

In autocatalysis, one of the product of a reaction behave as a catalyst for that reaction and increase the rate of the reaction.
Example:
$C H_{3} C O O C_{2} H_{5} (l) + H_{2} O (l) \to C H_{3} C O O H (a q) + C_{2} H_{5} O H (a q)$

In the given reaction, $C H_{3} C O O H$ act as a catalyst for the reaction and increase the rate of reaction.
