The answer to this question is: The pressure will be increased two times

The gas law includes an interaction of pressure(p), volume(V) and temperature(T). In this case, the gas has same amount and volume but then the temperature is doubled. The calculation would be:

p1 * V1 / T1= p2*V2 /T2
p1 * 1 / 1 = p2 * 1 / 2
p1 / (1/2)=p2
p2= 2* p1
