The problem says only one of the values is doubled. No matter which side you double, it will always end up multiplying to equal 1152 (I did 8*9*16 and 4*18*16)

The answer is the volume will be two times greater than the original volume of 576.

Just work it out. 4 × 9 ×16 = 576 cm². If we double the values we get 8 ×18 × 32 = 4608 cm², which is eight times the original value.
