Air resistance decreases acceleration of falling objects
a leaf
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.

Gravity
An object falling from a tall building would accelerate at a rate of 9.807 m/s2 until it reached terminal velocity, at which point it would not accelerate until it impacted the ground. Its velocity would increase as it fell until reaching terminal velocity, and then 0 when it hit the ground.
Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.
Decrease.

Air resistance creates friction and slows a falling object.
Air resistance causes friction and slows an object.

Drop a pound of feathers (in a bag) and a pound of lead from a height. The smaller mass of the lead will let it fall faster due to less air resistance, than the greater mass and much greater air resistance of the feathers.
Near Earth's surface, the acceleration is about 9.8 meters/second2, assuming air resistance can be neglected.
It depends on what the acceleration is due to. In the case of a falling object the acceleration is due to gravitational pull and remains the same regardless of the mass. In the case of a projectile being propelled by an explosive and increase in mass would mean a decrease in velocity given the amount of propellant remains static.
Only if it has enough wind resistance to cancel out gravity.
