The density of cream is more than the milk, so if it is separated from the milk, the density of the remaining milk will decrease.

Density increases.

Milk is a colloidal solution i.e. water (Cream) is dispersed in Fat (Milk). The cream is a dispersed phase and its density is less than water (water is a continuous phase).
So density increases.
So density increases.

Actually, milk has 3 component water, fat (cream) & solid (protein). When the cream has removed the weight of solid particle increases. That's why avg density of milk increases.

I think it will decreases.

The density of milk varies within the range of 1027 to 1033 kg m(-3) at 20° C.
PRODUCT ------------> Density (kg/L) at 20°C.
Heavy cream ------------> 0.994
Light cream ------------> 1.012
Half and half, fort ------------> 1.024
Half and half ------------> 1.020
Fortified skim ------------> 1.038
Skim milk, pkg ------------> 1.033
Homogenized milk ------------> 1.029
Producer milk ------------> 1.030

When we extract cream from milk it definitely becomes lighter then how one can say that density will increase?

The cream floats above the surface of milk it means it is lighter or has less density just like ice floating on water.
Why this is confusing is cause cream kinda looks like solid more compact its confuses the brain but if you touch cream its like shaving foam so when less density is removed the density of remaining thing is sure is gonna increased.

It will increase for sure. For all who thinks it will decrease.
Let d of milk = 2 g/l.
Let d of cream = 1 g/l.
So, d of whole =3 g/l or 1. 5 g/l.
Now, delete cream data, we have = 2 - 1= 2g/l.
So, d increases.

So, d increases.

The cream has lower density (or specific gravity) than milk and density of a mixture depends upon its constituents, depending upon their relative proportions. A decrease on the proportion of lighter constituent will result in the increase of the density of the mixture. So on the removal of cream, the density of milk will increase.
