Momentum and Newton's laws of motion — practice question

An electron moves into a region of space containing a uniform electric field $E$, as illustrated. At the start, the electron is travelling parallel to the electric field and in the same direction as it. How will the electric field affect the electron’s path afterwards, and what happens to its speed?
