As we know,

width of the central diffraction band is given by 

2D\frac{\lambda}{d}

where d is the width of the slit.

So when we double the width of the slit, the size of the central diffraction band reduces to half of its value. But, the light amplitude becomes double, which increase the intensity 4 times.
