    While the rockets are being fired the force is acting onto astronaut. According to a Newton's second law the formula is:

    F = m * a

    After the mass of the astronaut is doubled the force remains same. In order to get everything correct acceleration must be halved.

    F = 2m * a/2

    Smaller acceleration would result in smaller final speed.
