Change in momentum of different masses

Homework Statement

How is change in momentum related to mass? Will the change in momentum for a mass of 4m being pushed with constant force be same as the change in momentum for a mass of m being pushed with same force?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I know Change of momentum (i.e Impulse) is M(v-u) which is also equal to F.time. But that would suggest change in momentum for mass of $m is more than that of m. Is that right?

Momentum is mass X velocity, or change in momentul is mass X change in velocity.
For a given impulse, F X Time, the change in momentum will be the same. If the mass is increased by 4 times, then the change in velocity will decrease by 4 times.

Yup, that was my thought. Wanted to get it cleared. Thanks!
