Laminate Thickness to Strength?

Without getting really technical what is the general relationship of laminate thickness to strength? For example when you compare a 1/8" thick panel to 1/4" panel, does twice as thick equate twice as strong? For this purpose lets define strength as load capacity before failure. All other things being equal such as resin and fabric.
