The critical value would be determined using df for t distribution. Note as df increases the t distribution tends to the normal distribution.
Now see the formula for t is,
(sample mean - population mean)/sample s.d/√k
So as k increases the value of t would also increase. Degrees of freedom for the test is k-1. So obviously as k-1 increases k would increase.
Now as k increases or approaches infinity it follows a normal distribution so the critical value increases.
