If $f$ is integrable on $[a, b]$, prove that $2f$ is integrable.
Let $epsilon > 0$. Then, if $f$ is integrable on $[a, b]$, there is some partition $P = {x_{0}, ldots x_{n}}$ of $[a, b]$ such that $U(f, P) - L(f, P) < epsilon$.
Then, for any $i in {1, 2, ldots n}$, if we define $M_{i}(f) = text{sup}{f(x) mid x in [x_{i-1}, x_{i}] }$ and $m_{i}(f) = text{inf}{f(x) mid x in [x_{i - 1}, x_{i}] }$, we get
$$U(2f, P) - L(2f, P) = sum_{i = 1}^{n}(M_{i}(2f) - m_{i}(2f)) Delta x_{i} = 2 cdot sum_{i = 1}^{n} (M_{i}(f) - m_{i}(f)) Delta x_{i} leq sum_{i = 1}^{n} (M_{i}(f) - m_{i}(f))Delta x_{i} = U(f, P) - L(f, P) < epsilon.$$
I need to show that this is less than $epsilon$ how can I do it?

This is too obvious if one considers Riemann sums. Any Riemann sum of $2f$ is twice a Riemann sum of $f$ over same partitions and hence integral of $2f$ is twice the integral of $f$.

You can show that $$sup {2a mid a in A} = 2 sup {a mid a in A} quad text{and} quad inf {2a mid a in A} = 2 inf {a mid a in A}$$
using the definition of supremum and infimum. Thus
$$M_i(2f) - m_i(2f) = 2M_i(f) - 2m_i(f) = 2(M_i(f) - m_i(f))$$ giving you
$$U(2f,P) - L(2f,P) = 2(U(f,P) - L(f,P)).$$
