A finite arithmetic progression \( a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \) with a positive common difference has a sum of \( S \), and \( a_1 > 0 \). It is known that if the common difference of the progression is increased by 3 times while keeping the first term unchanged, the sum \( S \) doubles. By how many times will \( S \) increase if the common difference of the initial progression is increased by 4 times (keeping the first term unchanged)?
