A metal wire of circular cross-section has a resistance R₁. The wire is now stretched

A metal wire of circular cross-section has a resistance R₁. The wire is now stretched without breaking, so that its length is doubled and the density is assumed to remain the same. If the resistance of the wire now becomes R₂, then R₂:R₁ is
