Double
Explanation:
Since the period T of a pendulum is given by
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}[/tex]
By increasing the length of the pendulum by 4, the period becomes
[tex]T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{4l}{g}} = 2\left(2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}\right) = 2T[/tex]
You can see that the period doubles when we increase the length by a factor of 4.
