The correct response is:
The distance between the pith balls will not affect the electric charge.
The amount of electric charge on each pith ball remains constant regardless of distance. However, the electric force between them does depend on the distance: as the distance increases, the force of repulsion between the positively charged pith balls decreases according to Coulomb's Law.
