The resultant of two vectors A and B is given as √(A^2 + B^2 + 2ABcosΦ), where Φ is the angle between them (what I 've shown in 'phi ', not 'theta ' but the naming of the angle doesn 't really matter; theta cannot be properly represented here)
Therefore √(9p^2 + 4p^2 + 12p^2.cosΦ) is their resultant C (let)
3p doubled -> 6p; therefore new resultant = √(36p^2 + 4p^2 + 24p^2.cosΦ) = D (let)
Now it 's given that, D = 2C
So, squaring on both sides, 4(13p^2 + 12p^2.cosΦ) = 40p^2 + 24p^2.cosΦ
Equating, and cancelling p^2, cosΦ = -1/2 => Φ = 120 degrees or 2π/3 radians
