    With the decreasing object mass, the acceleration will also decrease.

    Explanation:

    Newton's second law of motion infers the relation between force F, acceleration a and mass m of a body. It is expressed as:

    F = ma

    When force is constant, we get m α 1/a, that is mass is inversely proportional to the acceleration of the body.

    Hence when object's mass decreases, the acceleration will increase. and vice versa
