Felix responded to the Jews' charge against Paul by:

Jailing Paul after he refused to bribe his way to freedom

According to the events that occurred in the book of Acts 19:24-40, the Jews in Ephesus made an accusation against Apostle Paul for sedition against their goddess and business.

They claimed that Paul had come to make people stop patronising their arts and crafts because of the statements he made while preaching to them. He mentioned that their goddess Diana was false and only promoted promiscuity and immorality and worshipping her was idolatry.

The Jews conspired to kill Paul until governor Felix heard word and sent a battalion of soldiers to rescue him from their hands. When Felix learnt that Paul was a citizen of Rome, he was desperate to let him go, but he wanted a bribe from Paul which he was not ready to give.

As a result of this, Felix put him in jail. Therefore, this can be said to be the response of Felix to the charge brought against him by the Jews.
