Answer:

Dilute sulphuric acid will react to produce hydrogen gas.

Increasing the concentration will increase the rate of reaction.

Since the product is in another phase (hydrogen is a gas) too rapid a reaction brings a risk of overpressurization and explosion. (This was once an issue with car batteries).

Also rapid generation of hydrogen bubbles could splash concentrated acid onto onlookers or sensitive equipment.
