Capacitor in Series
As can be seen in the picture, the plate distances add up when capacitors are connected in series. This means that the total capacitance must be reduced:
1 = 1 + 1 + 1 + …

Capacitor in Parallel
As can be seen in the picture, when capacítors are connected in parallel, the plate surfaces add up. Therefor the total capacitance increases:
CEq = C1 + C2 + C3 + …
