The option that is NOT a way to increase the gravitational force between two objects is:

Increase the distance between the objects.

Increasing the distance between the objects actually decreases the gravitational force between them, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. The other options (decreasing the distance or increasing the mass of the objects) would increase the gravitational force.
