It becomes zero.

Answer 1

When the net applied force acting on the box increases, the acceleration increases. According to Newton's second law of motion, \( F = ma \) (where \( F \) is the net force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration), if the mass remains constant, an increase in the net force will result in an increase in acceleration.

So, the correct response is:

It increases.
