If an engineering drawing has a scale of 3"=1'-0", and the scale of a detail on the drawing is 1.5"=1'-0", what is the relationship between the size of the drawing and the detail on the drawing?
I'm working on an AutoCAD drawing and I'm confused.

The detail is twice the scale as the original. The object will be drawn twice as large.

Both Bob W and Krzysztof_98 are correct. If you are working in Autocad, the main drawing is probably drawn at "full scale". You can utilize paperspace and viewports to "scale up" the detail area. The detail is really drawn "full scale" in model space also. You can actually plot at any scale you want.
If you are not using paper space, simply scale the detail up by 2X. The drawback is that when you dimension the detail you have to change the dimscale or remember to manually reduce the dimension value by half.

each 1 of your drawing scale equal 3
each 1 of your detail equal 1,5
so the detail is 2 times bigger on your drawing

The drawing is 1/4 the original, the detail is 1/8th the original. Hence, the detail is 2x bigger than the drawing. Like Bob said.

The items in the detail drawing are half the size of the items in the engineering drawing. In the engineering drawing an item one foot long would appear as being three inches long. The same item in the detail drawing would be one and one half inches long.

BOB W is correct. Most of these answers have it backwards.
