Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this with kinematics or with energy. It looks like you want to use energy.

Energy is conserved, so:

initial energy = final energy

Kinetic energy = potential energy

1/2 m v² = m g h

1/2 v² = g h

h = v² / (2g)

If we double the velocity:

H = (2v)² / (2g)

H = 4v² / (2g)

H = 4h

So the new height is 4h.
