Answer

$y_1=\frac{y}{10}.$ $y$ decreases $10$ times.

Work Step by Step

If $y$ varies inversely as the square root of $x$ we can write down this as $$y=\dfrac{c}{\sqrt x},$$ where $c=const.$ So If $x_1=100x$ then $$y_1=\frac{c}{\sqrt x_1}=\frac{c}{\sqrt{100x}}=\frac{c}{10\sqrt{x}}=\frac{y}{10}.$$ It means $y$ decreases $10$ times.
