Answer:

The pull the astronauts feel in the moon will be gravitational too.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pull will be gravitational too because there's a gravitational force exerted by the moon over the astronaut, this force keeps pulling the astronaut towards the moon surface but it's weaker than in earth because the mass of the moon is significantly less that the mass of the earth.
