In Newton's experiment of cooling, the water equivalent of two similar calorimeters is 10 gm each. They are filled with 350 gm of water and 300 gm of a liquid (equal volumes) separately.

The total energy radiated from a black body source is collected for one minute and is used to heat a quantity of water. The temperature of water is found to increase  from   20$°\mathrm{C}$ to 20.5$°\mathrm{C}$ . If the absolute temperature of the black body is doubled and the experiment is repeated with the same quantity of water at 20$°\mathrm{C}$, the temperature of water will be
