Mass = (Rest mass) / sqrt( 1 - v2/c2 )

V = 0.9 c

v2/c2 = 0.81

1 - v2/c2 = 0.19

sqrt( 0.19 ) = 0.4359

Mass = (rest mass) / 0.4359 = 2.294 x (rest mass)

For a rest-mass of 100 kg, that's 229.4 kg at 0.9 c .

Traveling without changing speed?

When you (or an object) travel without changing speed, then you have constant velocity (speed). This means there is no change in speed (acceleration) when you (or an object) is traveling.
