Answer:

The current will decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

When another bulb is added, the resistance is going to increase. Keep in mind that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance (Ohm's law: R= V/I ). Therefore when the resistance increase, the current running in the circuit will decrease.
