The volume increases 8 fold.

Explanation:

A cell is a three-dimensional object. Like any three-dimensional object its volume is bound by the laws of geometry and geometry tells us that increasing the dimensions used to calculate its volume has a cubed effect on it. The simplest way to look at it is with cubes. A cube with a side length of 1 cm has a volume of 1 x 1 x 1 which is equal to 1 #cm^3#. Now, a cube with a side length of 2 cm has a volume of 2 x 2 x 2 which is equal to 8 #cm^3#. This relationship is true for any three-dimensional object.
