    Electrostatic force is directly proportional to the amount of charge on each body under consideration.

    Electrostatic force increases with increase in charge.

    Electrostatic force decreases with decrease in charge.

    Explanation:

    Electrostatic force is the force between 2 charges which can be explained by the Coulomb's Law:

    F = K (q₁) (q₂) / r²

    Where

    F = Electrostatic Force

    K = Constant of Proportionality

    (q₁) and (q₂) = Amount of charge on each body

    r = Distance between two bodies carrying charge

    If the value of (q₁) or (q₂) is increased considering the other factors remain constant, the value of F will also increase.

    And vice versa.
