Two wagons are pulled with equal force. Wagon A is empty. Wagon B is carrying enough bricks to double the mass of the wagon. How do their accelerations compare?

Wagon A will accelerate at twice the rate of Wagon B.
Wagon B will accelerate at twice the rate of Wagon A.
Wagon A will accelerate at half the rate of Wagon B.
Both wagons will accelerate at the same rate since their forces are the same.
