Answer:

Decreased

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add extra pulleys, the minimum force that is needed to be given off by the person pulling lowers. For example if you have one pulley and pull on it, you require more force to move the object than your friend with two pulleys. He requires half the force that you do to move the object.
