As we learnt in 

Root mean square velocity -

V_{rms}= \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

= \sqrt{\frac{3P}{\rho }}
 

- wherein

R = Universal gas constant

M = molar mass

P = pressure due to gas

\rho = density

 

 V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}

\Rightarrow V_{rms}\ \propto\ \sqrt{T}

V_{rms}  will be doubled when temperature increases four times.

\therefore  Temperature = 4 \times initial temperature

                           = 400 K
