Question:

As the mass of the objects increases, does the gravitational attraction between them increase or decrease?

Answer:

increase

Gravitational attraction (the force of gravity) increases as mass increases.  Gravitational attraction decreases as the mass decreases. 

A bowling ball will have a stronger gravitational force than a paper clip.  (It has a greater mass..... unless you find an absolutely gigantic paper clip.)
