Answer

As $\theta$ is increased, the magnitude of $F_{x}$ decreases.

Work Step by Step

When the force is directly parallel with the ground, its $F_{x}$ is greatest because the force only has an x component. As $\theta$ increases, the y component of the force increases, and the x component decreases.
