Answer

$203\;\rm Hz$

Work Step by Step

We know that the beat frequency is given by $$f_{\rm Beat}=f_1-f_2$$ Thus, the new frequency is $$f_1=f_{\rm Beat}+f_2=3+200 ​$$ $$f_1=\color{red}{\bf 203}\;\rm Hz$$ It is a reasonable result since the increase in the tension increases the wave speed, and hence the frequency increases.
