If you use instances to full capacity - yes. In an ideal enviroment Using 2 F1s at 100% CPU is the same as 1 F2 at 100%
But a real application will rarely be completely CPU bound. Using external APIs wont be much different, or even 'program startup' wont be exactly double the speed (disk access will be similer for example) On the other hand, the extra memory headroom, will allow F2 to run somethings much quicker. (eg an algorithm could perhaps do a sort by coping data, rather than sorting in place which would be required on F1), So the relationship between the two isnt linear. A F2 isnt exactly twice that of F1. Everything wont be exactly 2x faster. Tasks wont just execute twice as fast.
