Slightly increased: Since sperm with X chromosomes survive longer but sperm with Y chromosomes swim faster, it is slightly more likely that a baby will be male if sex is at or just after ovulation and slightly more likely that the baby will be female if sex is a day or two before ovulation. Hope this helps.
