Varies proportionally

Explanation:

Gravitational force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of the masses.

This means that if one mass is doubled, the force between the two masses will also double
But if both masses are doubled, the force between the two masses increases by a factor of 4.

If one mass is made #x# times the original then the net gravitational force between them also becomes #x# times the original
