    The terminal voltage of the battery decreases.

    Explanation:

    An idea battery does not have internal resistance but a real practical battery always have an internal resistance r connected in series with the battery.

    This internal resistance causes a voltage drop when load R is connected, a current I flows in the circuit which causes a voltage drop I*r in the battery therefore, the terminal voltage of the battery will decrease.
