Unbalanced force, I assume, means that net force on the object is not zero, which implies that the object is accelerating (changing velocity). There are three ways this can change, positively (speed up), negatively (slow down), or perpendicularly (magnitude of velocity does not change, but direction does).

The object may slow down (decrease velocity), speed up (increase velocity), or change direction (change direction of velocity).
