Brightness will increase but minimally.
Brightness of bulb is dependent on current.
(Diagram of transistor is wrong) but i got that it is npn .here transistor is used as switch. So a little current at base will control flow between collector and emmitor so it does not matter how much current applied to base till a limit.
Voltage remain same as supply voltage ie 9v
I thought to try it practically and i give u the observations.
