Answer:

Velocity increases

Explanation:

Gravity is constant, except when discussing "apparent weight"

Mass is constant here

Air resistance would actually increase

Velocity DOES increase, because Earth is pulling the jumper downwards with an unbalanced force. The unbalanced force creates acceleration (-9.81 m/s^2), which means his velocity is increasing constantly.
