Just about the first equation one learns in a physics class is:
F=ma
or force equals mass times acceleration. So, if the mass is going to remain constant, then force and acceleration are directly proportional.

There is an equation derived from Newton's second law. The equation is F=ma where F is for force, m for mass and a for acceleration. If mass is constant, then an increase or decrease in acceleration means a similar increase or decrease in force. Hence both are directly proportional.
