It depends on the war in question as there were several conflicts between the British and French during Hamilton's brief life.

If the question is asking about the French entree into the American Revolution (i.e. the start of war between England and France in 1778), Hamilton was probably not enthusiastic about French assistance, but he would have swallowed his pride and realized that any help for the American Rebel Army should be well-received. As a result, he would have supported France.

If the question is about the conflict between England and France during the French Revolution of 1790, Hamilton supported England since he saw many more cultural similarities between the nascent United States and England than he did with France. Additionally, English-US trade relations were much better than French-US trade relations. Since the northern states relied heavily on such trade, it was natural for Hamilton to support England over France. This caused further division between Hamilton (and his party the Federalists) vis-a-vis the Democratic Republicans like Jefferson and Madison who supported the French over the English.
