By Ohm's Law, V=IR, where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance.
We can solve for current and replace V with 2V to see the result.
I = 2 V R
This is equivalent to I = 2 ( V R )
Therefore, we can see that if the voltage doubles, the current also doubles for the same resistance.
