L/4..
Explanation .Since we know time period of pendulum is 2π√l/√g where l is length of pendulum and g is the acceleration due to gravity since the time period must not change as equal to 1 second so l/g must be constant in the given problem if g had become g/4 so the l has to be l/4 for l/g to become same.
