Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points. The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Therefore, as the masses increase, the gravitational force between them also increases.
