To increase the gravitational force between two objects, you would need to either increase the mass of the objects or decrease the distance between them. Gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Increasing the mass of the objects or decreasing the distance between them would increase the gravitational force between two objects. The gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
Increasing the mass of one or both objects involved or reducing the distance between them would increase the gravitational force between them.
If you want me to pick the correct answer from a list of multiple choices for you, the least you could do would be to let me see the list. In this case, I can make a pretty good guess, because there are only two things that can have any influence on the gravitational force between two objects . . . the masses of the objects, and the distance between them.
Because the magnitude of the mutual gravitational force is proportional to theproduct of both masses, so it makes sense that when one of the masses is thewhole Earth, you'd expect the force to be greater than when it's anything elseon Earth.
I would expect small, light objects to accelerate more than large, heavy objects when subjected to the same force, due to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). Objects with less mass will experience a greater acceleration for a given force applied to them.

As their mass does not change their gravitational force remains the same. For them to move closer together one of the objects must have a stronger gravitaional force than the other. If they collided and became fused together then the gravitaional force would be greater as there would now only be one object.
The gravitational pull on you would be slightly weaker in the Rocky Mountains compared to the seashore due to the increase in altitude. This is because the gravitational force decreases with distance from the center of the Earth. However, the difference in pull at these locations would be very small and not noticeable to the human body.

Because of conditioning. I expect that you would soon notice it if the gravitational constant fell to zero and you were flung off into space! You do not notice atmospheric pressure for a similar reason.

what can you expect from yourself
The earth's gravitational pull decreases as altitude increases.

Gravity affects objects proportionally to their mass, and electrostatic forces affect objects proportionally to their electrical charge. We can observe that the attraction of the planet Earth for various objects, which we describe as weight, is proportional to mass, not to electrical charge. Consequently we can confidently infer that the attractive force exerted by the planet Earth is gravitational in nature and not electrostatic. It is also true that if there were some enormous electrical charge on the Earth and the moon, causing them to attract each other, we could expect an enormous electrical discharge to take place by which the extra electrons would leave the negatively charged object (moon or planet as the case may be) and travel to the positively charged object.
