A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery and a dielectric slab is inserted between the plates, then which quantity increase

Two parallel plate capacitors of capacity $C$ and $3\,C$ are connected in parallel combination and charged to a potential difference $18\,V$. The battery is then disconnected and the space between the plates of the capacitor of capacity $C$ is completely filled with a material of dielectric constant $9$. The final potential difference across the combination of capacitors will be $V$
