Robust standard errors on a negative coefficient

Your OLS estimate is β^=0.045\hat\beta = -0.045 with a classical standard error of 0.0150.015 (t-statistic 3.0-3.0). After correcting for heteroskedasticity, the robust standard error doubles to 0.0300.030.

Recompute the t-statistic and state whether the effect is still significant at 5 percent.
