If two stars are the same size and one is twice the temperature of the other, how much more luminous is the hotter one? quizlit

The hotter star will be 16 times more luminous  - luminosity depends on two things  - the size of the star and the temperature of the star. The hotter a star is, the more energy it will give out. This will give rise to greater luminosity.
