If you take an example of a rectangular prism of dimensions: L x W x H 
Volume = LWH 

If each dimension is doubled, the new dimensions will be: 2L x 2W x 2H 
New Volume = 8LWH 

New Volume / Old Volume = 8LWH / LWH = 8 

The volume will increase to eight times the original volume.

This is true for all other prisms as well. If all dimensions are doubled, the volume will become eight fold.
