Could you please be a little more clear? The base of the natural logarithm is e, so you could mean 2e, or possibly something else?
 
If you know what the base of the natural logarithm is, then just multiply by 2!

If you do NOT know what the base of the natural logarithm is, then what definition of "natural logarithm" are you using?
 
Acela, if it's supposed to rhyme with "chewy", then it's 2e. Otherwise it's 5.436563656918090470720574942705324995514.
