Answer:Increase the enzyme concentration

Explanation:

If the enzyme is saturated, it simply means that all the enzyme molecules present has been bound to substrates.

Of course, there will still be more substrates left in the system since the enzyme is saturated. The reaction rate can now be increased by increasing the enzyme concentration so that more enzyme molecules can be bound to substrates.
