Homework Statement

The Attempt at a Solution
My big hangup in this situation is why T, the period, of the oscillation doesn't change?
If you increase the displacement by 2A does this mean that since the force acting on the spring also increases proportionally there's just no change in frequency and the time period of oscillation? I understand however that the energy in the system increases is quadrupled. graphing Force with respect to distance, it's 4 times the area underneath the graph if you double A, the displacement, according to hooke's law.
So! Why does the Time period of oscillation not change at all? This is what confuses me! Thankyou for any response :)
