It also doubles.

Explanation:

By Ohm's Law, #V=IR#, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance.

We can solve for current and replace V with 2V to see the result.

#=>I=(2V)/R#

This is equivalent to #I=2(V/R)#.

Therefore, we can see that if the voltage doubles, the current also doubles for the same resistance.
