As inertia can be defined mathematically as I=mr^2it implies that inertia is directly proportional to mass that is if mass is increased the inertia is also increased and vice versa. Or in general wordings inertia is a property of an object due to which it oppose any change in its state of rest or motion and this property depends upon mass if mass is large then the inertia will also be large similarly if mass is small inertia will also small.
Everything in Physics can be explained by the formula F = Mass x Acceleration.
Inertia is the Force required to change the motion or direction of an object. Very often the term Momentum is used interchangably with Inertia, but that is not technically accurate.
So, since F= MA,
To accelerate a Mass from Velocity = 0, we have to overcome its "Inertia", which is the Force required by the above equation. As Mass (M) increases, so does the required Force (F), directly, and proportionally.

Umm, both of these answers above have some issues.
First of all, Inertia cannot be defined mathematically - the person who stated I=mr^2 is referring to the Moment of Inertia, which is the rotational equivalent of Mass in linear situations.
When Newton described Inertia, he used the word to describe the behavior of object to resisting changes in motion. It is a behavior - there is no measurement of a behavior, you either possess the behavior or you do not. In order to discuss the amount of resistance, the terms Mass and Moment of Inertia are used, depending on the type of interaction.
The second answer has some bad language. Inertia is NOT a force. Forces are pushes and pulls... not a behavior. Also, one does not need to 'overcome' Inertia in order to accelerate. If there is a net force applied to you - you WILL accelerate. The amount of mass you possess will dictate how much you accelerate. (a = F/m)
To answer the original question, the answer is simply this:
Mass (and Moment of Inertia) are simply the means of measuring the behavior of Inertia. One does not 'affect' the other. The question you ask is analogous to asking "How does your age affect time?"
What else can I help you with?
Which of these has the most effect on an objects inertia?
The mass of an object has the most effect on its inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, and this resistance is directly proportional to the object's mass. Objects with greater mass have greater inertia.
What is the effect of mass?
Inertia & weight.
What has most effect on an objects inertia?
Mass
What had the most effect on an objects Inertia?
Its mass
What property of an object has the most effect on inertia?
The mass of an object has the most effect on its inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, and this resistance is greater for objects with more mass.
Which has the most effect on an objects interia?
The mass of an object has the most effect on its inertia. Inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to changes in its state of motion, and the greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia.
What force will not effect inertia if its force is zero?
Force does not affect inertia in general. Inertia can basically be identified with the mass.
Is the weight of an object determined by the pull of inertia?
No. The weight by an object is related to the object's mass. Inertia is a separate effect, also due to mass - but there is no such thing as a "pull of inertia".
Are you saying inertia is a source of gravity?
Gravity is related to masses. Inertia is simply another effect of masses. I would say that the mass is the source, both for gravity and for inertia. The basic unit, however, is the mass.Gravity is related to masses. Inertia is simply another effect of masses. I would say that the mass is the source, both for gravity and for inertia.

What are some ways to accelerate?
Decrease mass, thereby decreasing inertia in the system, or increase power, thereby overcoming the effect of the inertia.
How does the mass of an objects affect inertia?
Mass is the measure of inertia and if you change the mass the inertia will change.
Does mass affect inertia?
inertia is the laziness of an object, or an objects resistance to change its state of motion, or how easy it is to start or stop an object. Mass is the measure of an object's inertia. Therefore with more mass, an object has more inertia.
