Answer

The concentration of $F^-$ ions will decrease.

Work Step by Step

As we discussed in 59a, the equilibrium will move to increase the consume of the added $Ca^{2+}$, and it will produce more $CaF_2(s)$. That follows the Le Chatelier's principle. This is the equilibrium: $CaF_2(s) \lt -- \gt Ca^{2+}(aq) + 2F^-(aq)$ - When the equilibrium moves to the left, more $F^-$ ions will be consumed, decreasing its concentration.
