I assume that the particle with the mass m1=15kgm_1 = 15kg is moving under the constant force FF. Then, according to the second Newton's law, the acceleration of the particle is:


a1=Fm1a_1 = \dfrac{F}{m_1}

If we triple the mass m2=3m1=45kgm_2 = 3m_1 = 45kg and remain force the same, then the new acceleration will be:


a2=Fm2=F3m1=a13a_2 = \dfrac{F}{m_2} = \dfrac{F}{3m_1} = \dfrac{a_1}{3}

Answer. The change of motion is the following: acceleration decreases by 3.
