Suppose slit width's are equal so they produces waves of equal intensity say I′, 

Resultant intensity at any point IR= 4I' cos2ϕ2, where ϕ is the phase difference between the waves at the point of observation.
For maximum intensity, ϕ  = 0o  ⇒ Imax​ = 4I′ = I......(i)
If one of slit is closed. Resultant intensity at the same point will be I′ only i.e., I′ = I0​……..(ii)
Comparing equation (i) and (ii), we get:
I = 4I0
