Quick comprehension check

A block is at rest on an inclined plane. If the angle of the incline is slightly increased, but the block remains at rest, what must be true about the force of static friction? A box is on an inclined plane and is just about to slide. If the mass of the box is doubled, will the box slide immediately, remain at the point of almost sliding, or remain stable? Explain your reasoning.
