Nothing changes — the brightness stays constant, because the ANGLE between the two axes stays the same.

Malus' law depends only on the angle θ BETWEEN the two polarizing axes. If both polaroids are rotated together in the same direction, this relative angle does not change, so cos²θ is unchanged and the transmitted intensity stays co …
