When the mass of an object doubles; The amount of gravitational force between it and another object whose mass stays the same doubles.

Gravitational force

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation;

  • The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their mass and Inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

On this note, since the mass of the other object is kept constant; the gravitational force is doubled when the mass of the object is doubled.
