Interference — practice question

Coherent light is sent through a double slit, creating bright and dark fringes on a screen positioned parallel to the plane of the double slit. At first, the light intensity from each slit is equal. The intensity of the light passing through one slit in the double slit is then increased. The frequency of the light stays constant. What effect does this have on the appearance of the fringes on the screen?
