The best answer is:

Higher horizontal velocity has no effect on vertical velocity.

In projectile motion, the horizontal and vertical components of motion are independent of each other (assuming no air resistance). Thus, a higher horizontal velocity does not influence the vertical velocity of the cannonballs.
