Answer:

It will double.

Explanation:

Apparent weight is the weight of a physical body affected by a force of gravity different of that of the athmosphere.  Thus, the lower the gravity, that is, the lower the attraction of one body to another, the lower the apparent weight of the object on which the gravitational force is exerted; while the opposite occurs if the gravitational force is greater. In other words, the apparent weight of an object is determined by the gravitational force exerted on it: the greater the force, the greater the weight. Therefore, as the outer ring has twice the force of gravity than the inner ring, the apparent weight of the astronaut will double as well.
