According to Ampere's Law, the strength of the magnetic field around a long, straight wire carrying current is directly proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire at which it is measured. Assuming fixed distance from the wire (meaning that you're measuring in the same place), if you increase the current by 1.75/.25= 7 times, you will also increase the magnetic field by 7 times.
