Answer:

increase

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Newtons second law

F = m a

Where, m be the mass of the object, a be the acceleration of the body

Rider applies the same force so the acceleration depends on the mass.

As mass is less so acceleration is more as acceleration is inversely proportional to the amass of body.
