How would using a stiffer spring affect the value for the spring constant?

[loveyou246]

The spring constant is a measure of the stiffness of the spring. By using a stiffer spring, it results in having a larger k (spring constant) values.
How would this change affect the values for the elastic and gravitational potential energies?
