Shit movie, but got me thinking. If these idiots went to Mars, with only 38% of Earths gravity, and increased it to normal Earth gravity, what would happen to the orbits of the other rocky planets? Would Mars tug on the other planets orbits to cause chaos and potentially fling them out of the solar system?

no, you'd have to make it really really big before it starts having a noticeable effect on other planets in orbit

Earth's mass was increased dramatically by the material from Mars during the breakup of the polar alignment.

Jupiter would help balance things out, but the mass would need to come from somewhere. Check the right side of this image.
