Answer: increase the voltage

Step-by-step explanation:

Ohms law shows the relationship between voltage, current and resistance. It is mathematically expressed as:

Voltage (V) = current (I) x resistance (R)

i.e V = IR

Hence, voltage is directly proportional to the current flowing in the circuit (V α I) and resistance (V α R).

V α IR

Thus, any increase in current leads to a corresponding increase in voltage once resistance remains the same.
