If gravity was reversed and everything that normally falls to the ground went upwards, what would happen to helium balloons?

teh would still rise
but faster, because there is no gravity working on the baloon bit
Edit:i think

They would try to get "above" the air.
If gravity were pulling air upwards, the balloon would go to the ground I think.
It's a silly question really.

Helium floats because it is lighter than air,
not because it is effected differently by gravity. Actually, in that case, I think they would stick to the ground. Hmmm...

I wonder
The effect of mass would be reversed. So the mass of the earth would repel the atmosphere, taking the balloon with it. Possibly.
I recommend you take a deep breath and hang on to something sturdy.

oo no no no no ... you'll want to avoid sturdy things
sturdy things have a lot of mass
you don't want to be near anything with mass when gravity changes direction
