Gravitational force = GmM/r2
where G is the gravitational constant
m is the mass of body 1
M is the mass of body 2, and
r is the distance separating the two masses.
So the gravitational force is proportional to the planet's mass. If the mass doubles, tthe force double; if the mass triples, the froce triples, etc.
