The reaction of ethyl acetate with sodium hydroxide, \[ \text{CH}_3\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5(aq) + \text{NaOH}(aq) \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{COONa}(aq) + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH}(aq) \] is first order in \(\text{CH}_3\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5\) and first order in \(\text{NaOH}\). If the concentration of \(\text{CH}_3\text{COOC}_2\text{H}_5\) was increased by half and the concentration of \(\text{NaOH}\) was increased by four, by what factor would the reaction rate increase? **Express your answer numerically.**
