Yesterday, Sasha cooked soup and added too little salt, requiring additional seasoning. Today, he added twice as much salt as yesterday, but still had to season the soup additionally, though with half the amount of salt he used for additional seasoning yesterday. By what factor does Sasha need to increase today's portion of salt so that tomorrow he does not have to add any additional seasoning? (Each day Sasha cooks the same portion of soup.)
