If Phantasmal Force is Heightened, does the target receive a penalty on both its initial Int Save and the subsequent Investigation check?

\$\begingroup\$ Perhaps edit it to accurately reflect that there's only one save. The second "save" as labelled here is actually an ability check that must use the character/creatures action. \$\endgroup\$– Lino Frank CiaralliFeb 28, 2016 at 7:57

No.
Heightened Spell gives disadvantage on the first saving throw a creature makes to resist the spell's effect. An ability check is not a saving throw and even it it were, subsequent checks would no longer be the first the creatures makes to resist the spell's effects.
