Answer:

The mass decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

As the acceleration of an object increases, and the force stays the same, the mass decreases in retrospect.

This is because of newton's second law of motion which posits that, "force is the product of mass and acceleration".

In a body, acceleration and mass are inversely proportional to one another. As the mass increases, acceleration reduces and vice versa.
