------------
If you mean it's an area of 4 sq meters, then the length will be doubled (with no change in the width).
---
If you mean it's 4 m by 4 m, then the length will be 8 meters.
---
If you mean something else, you'll have to be more explicit.

If the canvas is 4^2 it means the sides of the square are 2 meters (2^2 = 2 x 2 = 4)
If she wants to make it twice as large the sides of the square will = 4 and the total area will be 16 square meter
