It gets quadrupled.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder is directly proportional to Height (h) and square of radius of base (r) with π as Constant of proportionality ... If the height of a cylinder is doubled then the volume will get doubled. But, if the radius of the cylinder is doubled then the volume will get quadrupled.
