# If a perpendicular force \( F \) is applied to a surface area \( A \), resulting in a pressure \( P \), what is the new pressure if the force is doubled and the area is quadrupled?

If a perpendicular force \( F \) is applied to a surface area \( A \), resulting in a pressure \( P \), what is the new pressure if the force is doubled and the area is quadrupled?

- **A.** \[ 8P \]
- **B.** \[ P \]
- **C.** \[ 2P \]
- **D.** \[ \frac{1}{2}P \]
