The magnituide of the gravitational force between two objects will increase if -- the mass of one or both objects increases OR -- the distance between their centers-of-mass decreases.
If you increase the mass, you increase the gravitational force proportionally. If you increase the distance between two masses, you decrease the gravitational force between them by and amount proportional to the square of the distance.
decreases
Gravity is the force of attraction between all masses in the universe.The magnitude of a gravitational force depends onthe masses of the objectsthe distance between the objectsThe gravitational force between two bodies increases as their masses increase.
There are no known ways to affect the force of gravity. If the masses increase or the distance between the masses decreases the resultant force will increase (and vice versa).

the gravitational force between them decreases.
Distance decreases the gravitational force, F=k/r2.
decreases
their masses increase
The gravitational force (or attraction) between any two objects increases as the distance between them decreases. Thus, as an asteroid approaches Earth, the Earth's gravitational pull will increase as it gets nearer.
Decreasing the distance between two objects will increase the force of gravity. Gravity is proportional to the mass of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
At a greater distance, the gravitational force becomes less.
