Suppose the force of gravitation between two bodies of equal masses is F. If each mass is doubled keeping the distance of separation between them unchanged, the force would become

1/4 F

Explanation:

Let mass of each body is m and separation between the bodies isr. Gravitational force between the bodies F=Gm²/r²
After doubling the mass, gravitational force becomes F'=G(2m)²/r²=4F
