The conditional construction does not normally use will or would in if-clauses.
EXCEPTION: If will or would express willingness [mark politeness], as in requests, they can be used in if-clauses.
e.g. If you will come this way, the manager will see you now. I would [should] be grateful if you would [could] give me a little help.

Right answer is help. According to the 1st rule of if clause, when if clause is simple present then main clause is will/shall.
