A vacuum in itself doesnt apply a force in that there is no such thing as suction. What we call suction is caused by a greater air pressure exerting a force on an area of lesser pressure.

A vacuum is a vacuum meaning a space with nothing in it.
A vacuum cannot 'increase in intensity' as you cant have "less than nothing" in a given space.

I hope this makes sense and answers your question.
