Answer:

the height must be increased by 4 times the initial height

Explanation:

As we know by mechanical energy conservation law

initial total potential energy = final kinetic energy

so we have

mgH = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

so we have

v = \sqrt{2gH}

now we know that the speed is to be doubled

so the height must be increased by 4 times the initial height
