Does an increase in Capacitance mean a decrease in voltage?
Thanks!

If the charge on the capacitor doesn't change the voltage will decrease. (V = Q/C). If it does change it depends on the circuit and what you do to it.

Even adding that they are in series isn't enough information.

You could mean:

The safe working voltage
The voltage drop through them
The voltage between the ends and ground
or??
