Explanation:

Increasing the kilovoltage peak (kVp) in an X - ray machine leads to more energetic X - rays being produced. This results in an increased quantity of X - rays (more photons are generated) and also an increased quality (higher energy photons with greater penetrating power).

Answer:

Increased quantity and increased quality
