Final answer:

Increasing Zn2+ ion concentration leads to an increase in cell potential.


Explanation:

Increasing concentration of Zn2+ ions only will cause an increase in cell potential. This is because as the concentration of Zn2+ ions increases in the anode compartment, the cell voltage will rise due to the higher driving force for the reduction of Zn2+ ions compared to Cu2+ ions.
