Answer:

gravitational force increases

Step-by-step explanation:

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are brought closer to each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
