Detailed explanation-1: -If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on. Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, if the masses of both objects is doubled the force of attraction will become 4 times of its original value.
Detailed explanation-3: -When the masses of both objects are doubled then the force between them is four times.
Detailed explanation-4: -F=(Gm1, m2) /r^2 so force here is directly proportional to the mass.
Detailed explanation-5: -When the distance between two bodies is doubled and also the mass of each body is doubled, the gravitational force between them remains the same.
