Assuming you could even light a match in outer space, not much.

Jupiter isn't flammable. The only thing that could set it ablaze is if much much more mass were added to it so that it's gravitational field became strong enough to cause nuclear fusion at it's core, igniting it into a second sun.

The planet Saturn has an atmosphere that contains chemicals such as methane that on Earth would be highly flammable, but on Saturn they are not flammable because there is no free oxygen in the atmosphere with which to burn anything. Nothing burns on Saturn.

it appears that tossing a lit match on the face of saturn could set the atmosphere on fire but this is only my theory it would require testing to be sure

The match would go out, due to the combination of very strong winds and freezing cold temperature there.

the match would go out as there is not enough oxygen to keep it burning.

What would happen to Jupiter if you could somehow double its mass?

Jupiter would suddenly have aquired enough mass that the temperature and pressure in its core would begin the fusion of hydrogen atoms. Simultaneously Jupiter would also have enough gravity to keep that energy from suddenly exploding outwards. That would make Jupiter a star.
