Tire size and speed

Ok, so algebra is not one of my strong points. However, here is my question.
I currently have 7.00/16 tires on my W200. The speedometer is about 10mph fast with this tire size (when it says 65 I'm doing about 56 or so). So...
I have ordered new tires for it that will be 7.50/16. Once these tires are on, what effect should this have on the speedometer discrepency? Will the truck move faster at the same engine RPM or slower (slower I think, but I'm not sure).
My teachers always told me I would need this stuff someday...

Thanks!
