The correct answer is: drops to zero.

If a salt bridge is removed from the two half cells, the voltage drops to zero. Salt bridge permits the flow of current by completing the circuit. No current will flow and the voltage will drop to zero if the salt bridge is removed, due to accumulation of charges.
