Answer: Since a cylinder has a circular base which is counted when measuring the surface area and is unchanged with a doubled height the surface area will increase but won't be doubled. It will only be doubled if the circle's radius is doubled aswell.

Step-by-step explanation: ^^ please mark 5 star and give thanks.
