Answer:

The particle will continue in a straight line parallel to the field

Step-by-step explanation:

If a charged particle moves parallel to a magnetic field, without cutting across the field, then there will be no force on the particle. Since there is no force on the charged particle from the magnetic field, its velocity will continue in its original path, which is parallel to the field.
