This statement is false. Increasing the two objects' mass (I'm guessing) will actually increase their gravitational force. This is because of the equation:

If the distance was increased, then the statement would be true, but since you are increasing mass, which is proportional to the Force of Gravity, you are in fact, increasing the gravitational force between the two objects.
<span> <span> The answer to your question is: increase the force applied to the object.
Two items are provided as a basis for that conclusion:
1. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the formula for finding force is: F = ma
where F is the force,
m is the mass of an object,
and a is the acceleration of the object.
And 2: work = force x distance or W = F x d.</span></span>
