They means the same, however, the subjects for these two sentences are different for the transitive and intransitive verb.
I think there is "if (もし) clause" before these sentences and to compare them, I would write:
(with literal translations)
(私は)私の答えを変えていたでしょう。(I would change / would have changed my answer.)
私の答えが変わっていたでしょう。(My answer would change / would have changed.)
or
(私は)私の答えを変えたでしょう。(I would change / would have changed my answer.)
私の答えが変わったでしょう。(My answer would change / would have changed.)
*I think the translations of た and いた (of 変わった and 変わっていた) are the same in English though I'm not very sure for my English. I hope other people answer to you.
I hope this helps you.
