If the number of alveoli in each lung was increased to 600 million and the pulmonary ventilation was doubled, calculate how many times greater the rate of diffusion would be. can someone please explain the answer to me

I think there is a rate of diffusion equation and you would simply calculate what the answer would be with normal levels of alveoli and ventilation and then compare with the answer you get from the question
