Answer: A. Your weight will increase because gravitational force increases.

If Earth's mass doubles while staying the same size, your weight increases because gravity becomes much stronger.
Weight is a measurement of the downward pull the planet exerts on your body.
A more massive planet has more "stuff" inside it to pull you down with greater force.
While your body’s actual mass stays the same, you would feel twice as heavy to move.
