Yesterday, Sasha cooked soup and added too little salt, so he had to add more salt later. Today he doubled the amount of salt, but still had to add more salt, though only half as much as yesterday. By what factor does Sasha need to increase today's portion of salt so that tomorrow he does not have to add any more salt?

(Each day, Sasha cooks the same amount of soup.)
