The correct answer is: It doubles

The formula of the strength of magnetic field due to current carrying solenoid in terms of current and number of turns per unit length is, 

B=μ0ni, here n is defined as, Nl, here N is the number of turns, if we double the number of turns of solenoid then the strength of the magnetic field also double.
