Answer:
Decrease

Step-by-step explanation:
Acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of an object.
Acceleration decrease as the mass of the object increase

If u use the formula F=ma to calculate, you will get
a=0.5m/s2 for the first situation (m=10kg) and a=0.25m/s2 for the second situation (m=20kg)
