respond/answer/react

Smile and look at people. If you smile and show you're interested, people will respond and conversation will be easier.

Could I replace "respond" in the above with "answer, reply, or react?" If none, what are its synonyms here? Thanks.

To respond in this context means that people have a favourable impression of you so they will react well to your approach. Neither answer nor reply are suitable in the context.
