Yes. The equation that relates force to acceleration is very simple:
F = M A ,
or
A = F / M .
The acceleration is directly proportional to the force, and if the force doesn't change,
then the acceleration doesn't change. (' M ' is the mass of the thing that's being
'forced' to accelerate.)
So constant force produces constant acceleration, and is the only way to do it.

How are constant speed and constant acceleration different?
There is a huge difference between constant speed and constant acceleration. Constant speed is when the object is travelling constant, no change in its velocity and acceleration or in other words no extra force to speed up. Constant acceleration when the object is acceleration constant, it means that the speed of the object is change at the same rate each second. The acceleration rate at which the object is travelling is constant. for example, when a car is stationary at a traffic light and it starts acceleration, picking up speed but the rate of acceleration will not constant because the amount of force applied differs each second due to the acceleration rate.
Are force and mass directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Force is directly proportional to mass provided the acceleration is constant.
Is acceleration constant or does it change?
Going back to the equation F=m·a you can see that if the force changes but the mass does not, accelleration will change as well. If mass and force do not change, accelleration will be constant.
When acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed are mass and force directly proportional or inversely proportional?
directly proportional because force=(mass)(acceleration) (f=ma)
What is your acceleration if you have a constant velocity?
If your velocity is constant, then your acceleration is zero.
