    In the parallel plate capacitor

    The capacitance will decrease between the plates.

    The voltage will increase between the plates.

    Explanation:

    When the distance between the plates increase, then the voltage also increases as it varies with the separation of plates. However the capacitance will decrease upon increasing the distance. As the capacitance depends upon the electric field between the plates. Field is stronger when the plates are closer so capacitance increase. Field will be weaker upon increasing the distance and hence the capacitance decreases.
