The force will cause a change in the momentum of the object.
Reason: By Newton's 2nd law, a net force equals the rate of change of momentum (Fnet = dp/dt). A nonzero net force therefore changes the object's momentum; whether it speeds up, slows down, or changes direction depends on the force's direction relative to the motion.
