I would say less. The highest density of the moon stays on the earth side
now, so the 1/r^2 magnitude of the gravity effect is maximized.
If it were rotating, the average pull would always be less than it is now.

Would the moon's effect on the tides be more or less
if the moon still had rotational spin?
And why?
