Answer: B. 4

Sorry for the really late answer

Explanation:

If the radius of a right circular cylinder is multiplied by k, and its height does not change, then the volume of the cylinder is multiplied by k². The radius of can Q is twice as great as the radius of can p. Therefor, the volume of can Q is 2², or 4 times larger than the volume of can p.
