The kinetic energy is directly proportional to the momentum of a body,
Hence, if the kinetic energy of a particle is doubled, then it's momentum will also be doubled.

Kinetic energy is
K = (1/2) m v^2
We want to write it in form of momentum. We know that momentum P = m v
In K = (1/2) m v^2
Multiply and divide by m
So K = (1/2) m^2 v^2 ÷ m
So, K = (1/2) (mv)^2 /m
So, K = (P^2) /2m
Thus Kinetic Energy is proportional to square of momentum.
Also , P = √(2mK)
So, momentum is proportional to square root of kinetic energy.
Thus, if kinetic energy is doubled, then momentum will become √2 times original momentum.
