Gravitational force is inversely proportional to square of distance. Therefore 4 times further, which means 16times less gravitational force or pull between the bodies.

The gravitational force between two bodies reduces 16 times ,as gravitational force is directly proportional to product of the two masses and inversely proportional to square of their distances.
