Unless you're working on a new project or have very long sprints then it's going to take more than one sprint to significantly increase velocity after increasing team size. It's also really hard to double velocity by increasing team size unless you have a really small team that's not spending much of its time developing. Going from 7 to 14 developers will add a huge amount of communication overhead and give a slew of new problems.
