    Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 4 where as momentum would increase by a factor of 2.

    Explanation:

    Kinetic Energy is given by 0.5*mass*velocity^2. Kinetic Energy is proportional to Velocity^2.

    Momentum is given by mass*velocity. Momentum is proportional to Velocity.

    If the velocity of an object is doubled, Kinetic energy would increase by a factor of 2^2 i. e 4 times. Momentum would increase by a factor of 2.
