Look up Coulomb's Law and take your best guess. If you don't know the answer to this, you have not been studying the subject at all.
Even if you can't remember the value of the Coulomb's Law constant (like me), try to remember these two important facts:
(1) like charges repel; opoosite charges attract
(2) The force between two charges is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, and is the same on both charges
