140%

The larger pan will take about 1.4X the amount of dough (or whatever) to fill it to the same height.

You may need to adjust cooking times as well, depending.

That said, for bread, you may not need to adjust the dough volume at all -- you'll just end up with a loaf that's longer & wider, but not as tall.
