The box is cuboid, not cube: a cube box would be the same length in all dimensions.

"Double the size" is an ambigous phrase. Doubling all three measures, to a box of 4 by 6 by 10 would increase its volume 8-fold.

Simply doubling its volume could be achieved by doubling any one of the three lengths to 4 by 3 by 5, or 2 by 6 by 5 or 2 by 3 by 10.

Furthermore, the volume could be doubled by halving one length and quadrupling another, etc. There are an infinite nimber of possibilities.

Doubling the volume while maintaining the relative proportions would require increasing each side by a factor of cuberoot(2) or 1.26.

How does size transform in a cube when its side is doubled and halved?

If you double the side, then the volume (which you've called size) will go up by the power of three, so a 2 foot sided cube (which has a volume of 8 cu ft) will go to a 4 foot sided cube with a volume of 64 cu ft. If you then halve that you will have 32 cuft and this will have a side which is the cube root of 32 which is 1.28 feet.

What is the difference between a rectangular cube and a rectangular prism?

Cuboid has all the same size lengths on the square size, the rectangular prism has only 2 of one size, and 2 lengths of another size. A cube is a "rectangle" with all the sides the same size. Basically a square instead of a rectangle, with a 3-D view.
