Luckily we have equations for this!
Assume that the water has a fixed resistance of R. You have increased the Voltage V about double.
As a result of V=IR, the I, or current flow, will be doubled. Which in this case is probably a moderate tingle since R is so high.
For reference, the heart muscles start getting involuntary twitches around 100mA, and at 200mA causes cardiac arrest. And the standard units of Voltage, Amp, and Ohm will serve you well here for any conversions.
