Since gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the interacting bodies. Hence, on an increase by double for one of its masses, the gravitational force will also double.
F = Gm₁m₂/ r²
F = G (2m₁) m₂/ r²
F = 2 ( G m₁m₂)/ r₂
Therefore, it is evident that the gravitational force too will increase by double.
