The $k$-token graph $F_k(G)$ of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is the graph whose vertices are the ${n\choose k}$ $k$-subsets of vertices from $G$, two of which being adjacent whenever their symmetric difference is a pair of adjacent vertices in $G$. It is known that the algebraic connectivity (or second Laplacian eigenvalue) of $F_k(G)$ equals the algebraic connectivity $α(G)$ of $G$. In this paper, we give some bounds on the (Laplacian) eigenvalues of a $k$-token graph (including the algebraic connectivity) in terms of the $h$-token graph, with $h\leq k$. For instance, we prove that if $λ$ is an eigenvalue of $F_k(G)$, but not of $G$, then $$ λ\ge kα(G)-k+1. $$ As a consequence, we conclude that if $α(G)\geq k$, then $α(F_h(G))=α(G)$ for every $h\le k$.
