Would Earth actually burn up if Jupiter were to emit the same powerful source of light as the Sun? Why or why not?

(realizing that the Physics does not allow for it) "If Jupiter had the same mass it has now but was undergoing nuclear reactions of such a level that it was shining just as bright as our sun, what would that do to our life here on Earth?” All I am asking you to do is to identify ONE thing that would change BUT you must also tell why it would change. Remember – we orbit the sun because of its excessive mass and the mass of Jupiter in this thought problem is NOT to change.

Would you be so kind to explain in short detail why you are certain these effects would take place....thanks! Would you care to explain in concise detail why these changes would take place? Thank you kindly!
