(c) remain same

EXPLANATION:   

The fringe width is given as w = Dλ/d where D = distance of the screen from the slits d = distance of slits. 

The wavelength λ remains the same when the light comes out of the film. Thus none of the entity D, d or λ changes. So the fringe with will remain the same. Hence the option (c).
