In this work, we consider a finitely determined map germ f from (ℂ2,0) to (ℂ3,0). We characterize the Whitney equisingularity of an unfolding F=(ft,t) of f through the constancy of a single invariant in the source. Namely, the Milnor number of the curve Wt(f)=D(ft)∪ ft-1(γ), where D(f) denotes the double point curve of ft. This gives an answer to a question by Ruas in 1994.
