You cannot.
The question is not clear about how many of the three dimensions of the box are quadruples. For example, you could quadruple its height but leave the length and breadth unchanged.However, if you assume that all three dimensions are quadrupled, the surface area is 16 times as large and the volume is 64 times as great.

The surface area is quadrupled.

The surface area would increase by x16, e.g. 2x2x2 box= 24cm squared 8x8x8 box= 384cm squared :384/24=16
You cannot.
It will increase by a factor of 4; in other words, it will be 4 times greater. Given that all sides of a cube are of equal dimension, I will call this variable dimension x. The surface area is, therefore, x2. If the side of the cube is doubled (2x), then the surface area would be (2x)(2x) = (2x)2 = 4x2. So: x --> 2x (the side length is doubled) x2 --> 4x2 (the surface area is quadrupled)

if 3x4 is dimension of rectangle and 5 is the altitude, then, 49.035 sq. units is its surface area
The surface area is quadrupled.
starting size n, surface area = 6 x n2; starting size 2n surface area 6 x 4n2 so surface area would be quadrupled.

the area of a 2D shape with dimensions 8cm and 12cm is 96cm2, but if you're talking about surface area of a 3D shape then you need the other dimension.
surface area of a rectangular prism is the formula: 2lw+2wh+2lh
Given the surface area of a rectangular prism, there are infinitely many rectangular prisms possible.
