Here, it's talking about keeping self-weight same so if we increase cross-section the weight will automatically increase. So here to keep weight same we use specific weight instead of its own weight.

We know the change in length in the prismatic bar due to self-weight is YL^2/2E.
So, L becomes double so the value will be increased by four times.
