The correct answer is: 4B

Let's assume that the current in the coil is Initially the field at the centre is i and the radius of the coil is r, then the initial magnetic field at the centre is

Binitial=μ0i2r

When we make two loops out of one, we are basically making a coil of half the radius and double the number of turns, so

Bfinal=2μ0i2r2=2μ0irBfinal=4Binitial=4B
