The correct response is:

**Increasing the voltage would increase the amount of current. Increasing the resistance would decrease the amount of current.**

This is based on Ohm's Law, which states that \( I = \frac{V}{R} \), where \( I \) is the current, \( V \) is the voltage, and \( R \) is the resistance. Increasing the voltage \( V \) while keeping resistance \( R \) constant leads to an increase in current \( I \). Conversely, increasing resistance \( R \) while keeping voltage \( V \) constant leads to a decrease in current \( I \).
