Our weight will decrease. As
W=m×g
But g= GM/R sq.
As g is inversely proportional to the sq. of the radius, therefore the value of g will reduce and the our weight will decrease.
Hope this helps :)

pbasista406: Thank u soo much dude

Weight = mg
= GMm / R²

When radius of earth is doubled
G, M and m are constant
Weight ∝ 1 / R²

∴ If R is doubled weight will be 1/4th of its initial value.
