If you choose yes, you will have less packages installed but they will be reinstalled every time you rebuild that package.
I usually choose “No”
yay for the most part is an AUR helper.
Make dependencies are dependencies which are used to compile source code for a given package in AUR, using instructions from PKGBUILD file…
So, to answer your question - if you plan to only test AUR package once or want to save space - remove dependencies after compiling package.
If you plan to use it long term - leave dependencies, since you’ll use them on update anyway.
