Based on the information given the change in GDP, holding all else constant is a $300 billion increase in GDP.

Using this formula

Change in GDP=Tax increase× Tax multiplier

Where:

Tax increase=$200 billion

Tax multiplier=1.5

Let plug in the formula

Change in GDP=$200 billion×1.5

Change in GDP=$300 billion increase

Inconclusion the change in GDP, holding all else constant is a $300 billion increase in GDP.
