This is known as the Monty Hall problem. If you swap to the unopened door, you double your chance of winning the car.

I agree with the answers above, but I would note that you have to be very careful about how the problem is stated, what the host can do, what the host knows beforehand, etc.
There's a full discussion here (and, from memory at least, I think TTT's video might hint at this too): https:/ /en.wik ipedia. org/wik i/Monty _Hall_p roblem
But the basic summary is that, after the goat door is opened, unless the host is perverse and only offers you the chance to switch if he knows that doing so would lose, then you should switch: you won't be worse off, although whether you win 2/3 of the time or not depends on how the host chooses which door to open.
