The only methods we have for producing 'artificial gravity' involve acceleration, either linear acceleration as in a rocket, or more commonly, circular acceleration like that used in various theoretical designs of rotating space stations. This 'rotational gravity' can, with some design changes, also be used on the surface of a planet to increase the apparent force of gravity. Effectively, you'd build your structure out of 'cars' travelling around a circular track which is banked inwards, identical to the way that corners on some racetracks are banked inwards to allow cars to corner at higher speeds. With the track angled correctly, and the cars moving at the proper speed about the track, the sum of the forces involved (Mars' gravity downward, and the 'centrifugal force' due to circular motion 'outward') would act to push the passengers to the floor of the cars with the same apparent force as Earth's gravity. It wouldn't exactly be an efficient way to build habitats, however. Other than variations of this method, there aren't really any other feasible means to create 'artificial gravity' on Mars. Altering the spin, orbit, or atmospheric composition of the planet isn't going to have any effect upon its apparent gravity.

It works the same way on Mars that it does on Earth; gravity is a universal phenomenon. However, the planet Mars has less mass than the planet Earth and generates a weaker gravitational field, so if you went to Mars you would weigh less than you do on Earth.

Mars already has gravity. You could theoretically increase the gravity on Mars, but adding enough mass to make a noticeable difference would be impossible by any means we can control and would have catastrophic consequences for Mars.

Relax. Gravity is everywhere. You don't have to do anything to "get it".

The acceleration of gravity on Mars is 3.71 meters per second2 ... about 38% of

what it is on Earth.
