would u ask for a salary increase if...
...you were given a LOT more responsibilties?
my boss has quit and I was assuming a replacement would be hired. Today I was told there would be a part time consultant and that me and my counterpart together would need to take on a large chunk of my old boss' responsibilities. on one hand, i think all of the extra work is deserving of extra compensation, on the other hand, i know this country is in a recession and i don't want to rock the boat (even though i know my company is doing well.) WWYD?

If the company is doing well, go for it! The worst they can do is tell you no. Good luck!

I would definitely ask to be compensated. They've actually done this many times at my employer because it saves having to hire on a new person.

I would negotiate for salary or maybe some flex opportunities like every other Friday off or work from home once a week. I negotiated additional vacation days when my employer said they weren't giving raises last year.

Definitely.
You said your company is in a recession but they are doing well?
I would ask regardless. You have nothing to lose.
If you are taking on more responsibilities though asking for more time off would probably not get approved.
Good luck.

I would say that is not a problem but how will I be compensated for this?

You have FM - but IMO, no I would not ask for a raise right now..
