Double

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the period T of a pendulum is given by


T = 2\pi \sqrt{(l)/(g)}

By increasing the length of the pendulum by 4, the period becomes


T' = 2\pi \sqrt{(4l)/(g)} = 2\left(2\pi \sqrt{(l)/(g)}\right) = 2T

You can see that the period doubles when we increase the length by a factor of 4.
