The correct answer is:
**The magnetic field will become stronger as the current increases.**
According to Ampère's law, the strength of the magnetic field generated around a current-carrying wire is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through the wire. Therefore, as the current increases, the magnetic field around the wire also increases.
