A spring used in an introductory physics laboratory stores 10.0 J of elastic potential energy when it

Question:

A spring used in an introductory physics laboratory stores 10.0 J of elastic potential energy when it is compressed 0.20 m. Suppose the spring is cut in half. When one of the halves is compressed by 0.20 m, how much potential energy is stored in it? [Does the half spring have the same k as the original uncut spring?]
