Answer

$3.5\ pF$

Work Step by Step

If the charge on each plate changes, the capacitance does not change. because the charge q on the capacitor is proportional to the applied voltage. $q \propto V$ The proportionality constant is C and is referred to as capacitance of the device $q = CV$ Substituting the values of $q$ and $V$ and finding $C$: $C = 3.5\times 10^{-12} F = 3.5\ pF$
