\spaceskip and \xspaceskip control the interword spacing in TeX. Here
is a small example you can try:

\begingroup  
\xspaceskip 20pt  
\spaceskip 20pt

This is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test
this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a
test.

\endgroup

This is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test
this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a test this is a
test.

>From the dvi you could gather how the values for \xspaceskip and
\spaceskip control the interword spacing, from which you can arrive at
a value which is suitable for your requirement.
