Its in your favor to switch doors.  You have a 2/3 chance of not picking the car, and a 1/3 chance of picking it.  Since the host is going to reveal which door doesnt have the car after you pick, that means if you didnt pick the car (which you have a higher probability of doing), its behind the other door.
