Answer:

The magnitude of the force between the two charges will be increased.

Step-by-step explanation:

The force between the two charges is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Hence, if distance between charges is halved (charges remaining kept constant), the force between the two charges is quadrupled
