as we know that P=mv .. where m is mass and v is velocity ..this relation shows that momentum has a direct relation with these two quantities .. so when velocity is increased twice
P' = mv
P'=m2v
P' = 2 mv here mv is P so
P'=2P
this shows that momentum will also be doubled by doubling the velocity :)
