Where,

G: gravitational constant

m1: mass of object number 1.

m2: mass of object number 2.

d: distance between both objects.

Therefore, according to the given equation, a change that always results in an increase in gravitational force is:

Increase in the mass of the objects and decrease in the distance between them.

Answer:

A change that will always result in an increase in the gravitational force between two objects is:

Increase in the mass of the objects and decrease in the distance between them.
