A pretty high "speep". I should imagine. It really is a shame it's so hard to edit the title of a thread 
Just use the right formula, remembering to convert minutes to seconds!

Assuming we don't lose any mass?
How many seconds are there in a minute? After that use you suvat equations to find the final velocity.
Your inital velocity is 1000m/s and you have an acceleration.
