if a body increases its speed until it reaches the speed of light, its mass increases gradually or increases at once?
What is the formula used to know the mass variation during this movement?

Its mass is constant, according the current formulations of theory
 of relativity.

The increasing  inertial mass is an obsolete  idea, being in fact
 just energy equivalent.

As inertial mass is direction dependent. E.g. inertial  mass along
 motion is proportional  to gamma,
while  perpendicularly  to motion it is proportional to gamma^3,
where gamma = 1/sqrt(1-(v/c)^2)

Gravitation changes kinetic energy continuously after fall begins...
Momentum exchange is discontinuous... its energy change "jumps" 
in quantity always.
