Gravity and Energy: Mass, Velocity, and More

As mass increases with increasing velocity(energy) and gravity is directly related to mass . Does gravity of a body increases with increasing energy

Joy I think you pose an excellent question. An observer riding along beside the accelerated mass would not notice any change in the mass's gravity, but what about a stationary observer with respect to the mass? Would they notice an increase in it's gravitational field?
