You need more context for a definitive answer, but most likely: 1) increases.
Reason: for a given speed, increasing Burt’s mass raises his momentum (p = mv) and kinetic energy (KE = ½mv²), so he can do more work on — and destroy — more snowmen. (If some other quantity is held fixed instead, e.g. the total energy supplied, the conclusion could differ; give the full problem if you want a precise analysis.)
