The answer really depends on what number you are doubling.
Let's say that you wish to double the number a (which we assume is greater than 0).
If we're raising a to the nth power, then n must satisfy the following equation:
an = 2a
Taking the natural log on both sides,
n log a = log (2a),
n = log (2a) / log a.
So if we double the number a, it is raised to the log (2a) / log a power.
