Answer:

They will repel each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Coulomb's law, the force between two chargee is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of the both charges and inversely proportional to their distance apart.

The force of attraction between electric charges may be attractive or repulsive in nature. When two negative charges are placed in close proximity to each other, they repel each other because like charges repel each other.
