Answer:

C. twice as much

Step-by-step explanation:

As we increase the force on an object the acceleration increases proportionally. Therefore, if you double the force you double the acceleration. If you increase the mass at a given force the rate of acceleration slows. Therefore, mass is inversely proportional to acceleration.
