I recently modified my resume to better reflect my skills and accomplishments. The new resume is a signficant improvement.
I'm thinking of sending the new resume to several companies who already have the old version.
I believe the new resume will be a better advertisement for my skills and I believe that sending the new copy will be a way to make sure that I am still in their mind.
The downside is that I could annoy the employers and they might question why I made the changes.
What do you think? What would you do?

Don't worry, the employers usually don't keep the resume too long. They have to go through 1000s of resumes everyday and don't have time to file them for future. If they are interested in you, your resume, usually they will call you within a week or 2 the most. I used to be a supervisor and worked closely with HR department. We used to scan through the resume. The ones that are eye catching are reviewed for interview. Rest of the resumes are shredded and trashed in the garbage. Don't forget to write up a nice convincing cover letter attached with your resume indicating you are the right person and can get the job done. Good luck.

I'd sent it anyway. Even tough your concern is valid, because of the amount of resumes these companies receive, I think they don't only work for you as a person looking for a new employment but for the companies searching for workers and, in that sense, having a better candidate (you with more experience / skills) will help them in that sense.

You should resubmit. Businesses usually throw out applications/resumes after a certain amount of time. My employer keeps them for 6 months, and my previous kept them for 3 months.

As far as everything you wrote is realistic they would not mind taking a new resume, ofcourse with the experience and time your resume changes. If you made changes to the vocab part of resume, go for it. It only shows that you are on task of improving yourselves, Go for it

Most companies keep things like that on file for 90 days. Wait a few months then resubmit it.

IT can't hurt anything to resubmit an updated resume.

Include a cover letter explaining the changes. But, really, I don't think it makes a difference.
