Quick comprehension check

Two objects have electric charges. If the charge of both objects is doubled, how will the electric force between them change? Will it become stronger, weaker, or stay the same? Two objects have electric charges and are a certain distance apart. If the distance between the objects is tripled, how will the electric force between them change? Will it become stronger, weaker, or stay the same?
