False

Explanation:

If one of the bulbs is removed from the series, the other bulb will not come on at all.

This is because the removal of one of the bulbs would interrupt the flow of current though the entire circuit.

Hence, that the other one will get brighter if one of two bulbs in a circuit is removed from its socket is not true.
