If Earth's core gained and lost mass, what would eventually happen to the plates?

If the mass came from handwaving and just increased the core's density, what would happen to the plates? If, over the course of 200 years the planet fluctuated from +50% to -50% gravity, would the plates contract and relax? Would there be more verticality where plates meet?
