    orbital period increased by a factor of 2.83 unit

    Explanation:

    Given.

    planet's orbital period, T, and the planets mean distance from the sun, A, in astronomical units, AU

    T² = A³

    If A is increased by a factor of 2,.

    Then T will be increase with the factor of √2³ = 2.83
