We know that according to Ohm's law:

Current flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the potential difference across the circuit. It can be expressed as:

V= IR

Therefore, R can e written as:

R= VI

In the given problem both potential and current are doubled:

R= 2V2I= VI

We can see that the resistance will remain the same.
