Low or weaker
On increasing the water-cement ratio, the strength of cement paste generally decreases. This is because the water-cement ratio refers to the proportion of water to cement used in a concrete or cement mixture. Cement requires a certain amount of water to hydrate and form strong chemical bonds. If you add more water than is necessary for this hydration process, it can weaken the resulting paste.
