Answer

The new length becomes quadruple the first length.

Work Step by Step

As per the given problem, we have: $P=k\sqrt l$ Here, $k$ is defined as constant of proportionality when the period gets doubled then we have $P_2=2 P_1$ Plug the given data in the above expression, we get $k\sqrt l_2=2(k\sqrt l_1)$ This gives: $l_2=4l_1$ Hence, the new length becomes quadruple the first length.
