I'm not sure how you measure gravity. But we'll just say that, even though it's kind of vague. The gravity of the planet barely, barely increases. What's the damage, if any?

Nothing. Gravity already has a small variance if you get up high enough. It's only a few dozen miles up to orbit. Getting to the top of a really tall mountain could make you drop a pound.

Really? I always figured it would have crazy effects on people if it got heavier. That's kind of interesting.

What do you mean barely? Gravity at the surface is about 9.8 m/s^2, and is weak and lenient enough that we can use that rounded number to get super accurate results from tons of different heights and long distances. If it changed just a tad, there would be no noticeable difference.

I'd assume things would be either heavier or lighter depending on which way it goes.

Gravity isn't even uniform around the planet. Variations in topography and density affect surface gravity. That's what it means if you've ever heard the "there's less gravity in Canada" meme.
