The true statement about Newton's theory of universal gravitation is:

**Gravitational force increases as the mass of objects increases.**

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force between two objects increases with the product of their masses and decreases with the square of the distance between their centers. Thus, gravitational force is directly proportional to the masses of the objects involved.
