Adding perchloric acid to water would cause it's conductivity to increase.

Answer is: increase.

Balanced chemical reaction of dissociation of perchloric acid in water:

HClO₄(aq) → H⁺(aq) + ClO₄⁻(aq).

Ionic compounds (in this example perchloric acid) conduct electricity, because it dissociate in ions and ions conduct electicity.

Ionic substances dissociate in water on cations and anions.

Perchloric acid (HCO₄) is one of strongest inorganic acids.
