In simplified terms, the voltage will ________ if the strength of the magnetic field and/or the speed at which it passes the conductor are increased.

The main idea is that induced voltage depends on how quickly the magnetic flux through the conductor changes. Increasing the magnetic field strength makes the flux change more rapidly as the conductor moves, while moving the conductor faster through the field also speeds up the flux change. Both of these increase the rate at which magnetic flux changes, which raises the induced voltage. In practical terms, a stronger field or faster motion pushes more electrons per unit time, producing a larger emf. So the voltage will increase.
