The resonance frequency of an RLC circuit is given by $f = \frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$. Halving both L and C results in the square root of a quarter ($\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} = \frac{1}{2}$) in the denominator, which is equivalent to multiplying the original frequency by 2, thus doubling the resonance frequency.
