#2 is correct. It means "influence" or "impact", so the idea would be "How would this impact upon you?".
"Effect", on the other hand, has a number of meanings, but most of them have to do with being a consequence of something else happening (such as cause and effect).

2. How will this affect you?
is the correct sentence. It is asking what impact something will have on you. The word 'effect' is generally used as a noun, not a verb, such as in referring to special effects in movies.
