For a neutralization reaction, the value of q(heat of neutralization) is doubled when the concentration of only the acid is doubled.

A neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to yield salt and water. Ionically, a neutralization reaction goes as follows; H^+(aq) + OH^-(aq) ------> H20(l).

The heat of neutralization (Q) of the system depends on the concentration of the solutions. Since Q is dependent on concentration, if the concentration of any of the reactants is doubled, more heat is evolved hence Q is doubled.
