Answer:

G is a universal constant and will never change

Small g is the force that gravity exerts on the surface of the Earth. If just the mass changes, then the gravitational pull would be 4 times more. But if the Earth increased in radius as well, it's more complicated.

F ~ M/r^2 force is proportional to mass/radius squared.

g = m/r^2. Gravity is in g is equal to earth masses/earth radius^2.

By increasing mass, we proportionally increase volume (assuming constant density). This means that 4 Earth would have a radius that is cube root 4 bigger than Earth.

So due to the mass, the gravity increases by a factor of 4. But due to the new radius, it would decrease by a factor (cube root 4)^2, or 4^(2/3).

Rearrange this to get your new gravity as (cube root 4)g.
