The gravitational force becomes 4 times , as the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between 2 objects.

☺ Hello mate__ ❤
◾◾here is your answer...
According to the universal law of gravitation, gravitational force (F),
F ∝ 1/r^2
If distance r becomes r/2, then the gravitational force will be proportional to
F ∝ 1/ (r/2)^2 ∝ 4/r^2
Hence, if the distance is reduced to half, then the gravitational force becomes four times larger than the previous value.
I hope, this will help you.
Thank you______❤
