2 Capacitors in parallel means less ESR?

Hey. I have a question... If i have 2 1000μf 10V capacitors in parallel will the ESR drop like a normal resistor in parallel? or will it stay the same? or will it add more ESR?. The reason i'm asking this is because my teacher gave the entire class a group project, The teacher said "This project is a great test of your knowledge from this year... You'll need to make a circuit which is drawing 100ma or less at the input and outputs at least 1A for at least 1μs or more." At first we thought to make a simple battery but we failed so i asked "Why won't we just use capacitors? They can output more then the input for less then a second and they are very cheap!" But we realized that the ESR is very high. This is why i'm asking this question.
