Answer

Teminal voltage of battery will increase.

Work Step by Step

When the load resistance will be increased, current will decrease and also value of $Ir$ will decrease. Since terminal voltage is given as $V_t = \epsilon - Ir$ when $Ir$ will decrease with $\epsilon$ constant, value of $V_t $ will increase
