    Answer:

    The gravitational force between the protons will be larger.

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Two protons are separated by a distance d.

    The protons has a velocity, v = 0.9c.

    The relation of the mass of the moving protons with its rest mass is given by

    m = \dfrac{m_{0}}{\sqrt{1 - \dfrac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

    where, m_{0} is the rest mass of the protons.

    Substitute 0.9c for v in the above equation, we have

    m = 2.29m_{0}

    As the masses of the moving protons are greater than that of its rest mass the gavitational force will be larger.
