Varies anywhere between 0 and 9000.

Seriously.

Inconsistency.

The gap is "clearly stronger than one's self."

It doesn't have to be multi-fold, it doesn't have to be at least double, or anything specific. I've noticed that in most cases, the paralyzing fear in question is often spurned not just by the extent of the opponent's power, but also by the opponent gaining way more power than you expected. So it's not just a matter of fear, but also of surprise.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell whether characters are actually shaking in fear, or if they just appear to be because the ground itself is literally shaking. There have been a few cases of the latter occurring when the character pulling the "whoah" face is actually stronger, such as when Goku powered up in front of Vegeta (and Nappa).

I feel like it's kinda like seeing a guy with barely bigger muscles than you, so there's a chance he'll beat your ass if you guys pop off. And if he's like body builder status, well time to freak out.

It's going to depend on the personality of the character trembling as much as it is the power that makes them tremble.

As long as someone is stronger and about to kill someone weaker is enough. Doesn't matter by how much. The fear of dying seems or facing something stronger then you can be in any range.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!

He is shaking, because his attack did nothing.That's pretty common in the series.

I say 20% minimum. Any lower and the weaker fighter could still have a chance.

Equal to the gap needed for B to nonchalantly tank A's strongest attack.

Dub english minor error. Broly never says Goku in none of his movies in the original language.

Broly, Vegeta, etc are pure Saiyans and always called Goku by his real name: Kakarotto.

Its not so much the fear of a gap. Its more of a shock of how powerful their opponent is which scares them.

For example Ginyu under estimated Goku, and he was bricking it before he got anywhere near his power level.

Ginyu showed signs of shock and fear as soon as he saw Gokus power level higher than what he ever expected.

That looked more like he couldn't believe it.
