The correct answer is: is doubled
In photoelectric effect, saturation photocurrent is directly proportional to the intensity of incident radiation but independent of frequency of incident radiation. Hence, saturation current in photoelectric effect becomes double when both intensity and frequency of the incident light are doubled.
