In Millikan's oil drop experiment, a charged drop falls with terminal velocity $V$. If an electric field $E$ is applied in a vertically upward direction, then it starts moving in an upward direction with terminal velocity $2V$. If the magnitude of the electric field is decreased to $E/2$, then the terminal velocity will become
