magnetic field for solenoid = B = \muNI 
and formula for self inductance is
     N\phi = L I  ( where L is self inductance )
and \phi(flux) = BACos \theta  ( \theta = 0 so Cos \theta= 1)
 case 1 )  N ( \muNI * A) = LI 
               L = \mu N^2 A
case 2)  now no of turn is doubled
so 2N ( \mu(2N) I *A ) = L' I 
  L' = 4 \muN^2 A
hence  Its new self inductance will be four times
option 1 Four times is correct
