halved
tripled
unchanged

Solution
If molality of dilute solution is doubled, the value of molal depression constant (Kf) will be unchanged.
Explanation:
The molal depression constant Kf is a property of the solvent only and is defined as
ΔTf = Kf m
Here, Kf depends on the solvent’s nature and not on the solute concentration.
So, even if the molality is doubled, the value of Kf remains unchanged.
