It quadruples, i.e. becomes #4# times stronger than the original force.

Explanation:

Force is defined by the following equation

#F=ma#, where #m# is the mass of the object, and #a# is the acceleration of the object.

Let #F_1# be the initial force, then we have

#F_1=m_1a_1#

Let #F_2# be the new force, then we got

#F_2=m_2a_2#

Since we know that the mass and the acceleration of the object has doubled by any circumstances, then we have

#m_2=2m_1,a_2=2a_1#

We can now replace them in #F_2# to get

#F_2=2m_1*2a_1#

#F_2=4m_1a_1#

#F_2=4*m_1a_1#

Now, we can substitute #F_1# into #m_1a_1# because #F_1=m_1a_1#.

#:.F_2=4F_1#

So, the new force will be #4# times stronger than the original force.
