Answer

The female’s fundamental frequency would be higher than the male’s fundamental frequency.

Work Step by Step

We can find an expression for the fundamental frequency: $f = \frac{nv}{2L}$, where $n = 1$ We can see that as $L$ decreases, the frequency $f$ increases. Therefore, the female’s fundamental frequency would be higher than the male’s fundamental frequency.
