The ratio of escape velocity of a planet to the escape velocity of earth will be:-
Given: Mass of the planet is 16 times mass of earth and radius of the planet is 4 times the radius of earth.

Escape velocity: $$v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$$

$$\frac{v_p}{v_e} = \sqrt{\frac{M_p}{M_e} \times \frac{R_e}{R_p}} = \sqrt{\frac{16}{1} \times \frac{1}{4}} = \sqrt{4} = 2$$

Ratio = $$2 : 1$$
