If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between themis 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.

Gravitational force (F) = GMm / d²
For same masses
Gravitational force ∝ 1 / d²
From above relation if separation (d) is doubled then force (F) will be 1/4th.
∴ Gravitational Force of attraction between them now will be 25% of initial.
