If you do the same amount of work on an object in less time, how does the power change?.

Answer:

Either way, you do the same amount of work because you apply the same force (equal to your weight) through the same distance (the height of the stairs.) Power is work per time. That is, if you do the same amount of work in a shorter time, it takes more power.

hope this helps! :)
