The correct answer is:
$100 \%$
$\begin{aligned} & p^2=2 M E \\ & \therefore \quad p \propto \sqrt{E} \\ & \therefore \quad \frac{p_1}{p_2}=\sqrt{\frac{E_1}{E_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{E}{E+3 E}}=\frac{1}{2} \\ & \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad p_2 & =2 p_1 \\ \% \text { Increase } & =\frac{p_2-p_1}{p_1} \times 100\end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2 p_1-p_1}{p_1} \times 100=100 \%$
$\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad p_2 & =2 p_1 \\ \% \text { Increase } & =\frac{p_2-p_1}{p_1} \times 100\end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2 p_1-p_1}{p_1} \times 100=100 \%$
