Answer: a home currency will depreciate if the home inflation rate exceeds the foreign inflation rate.

Explanation:

Inflation erodes the value of a currency such that it is worth less than it was before. If the inflation in a country is higher than that of the inflation in another country therefore, the value of the currency of the former would be less valuable than the value of the currency of the latter because it suffered greater erosion in value.

The former's (home) currency will therefore depreciate against the foreign currency(latter) to reflect that its value is lower relative to the foreign currency.
