    Capacitance

    C = e A/d

    or C=Q/V

    Energy stored in the capacitor

    W=0.5CV^2

    This a straight forward problem

    W=0.5 e A/d (V^2)

    W=0.5 x 4.5 x 4.75 x 10^-9 m^2 / 8.5 x 10^-9

    m=

    W = ...

    since d is the thickness and the energy is inversely proportional to energy stored in the capasitor then with the increase of the thickness of the membrane the energy will decrease.
