Don't think they quite double.
Tested that out last night actually with an extra pidgey and geodude to see the boost they get.
Was a big boost, but not double.
Still, could be a decent idea to boost cp before evolving.
Although Powering up still seems kinda pointless and a waste of stardust/candies to me at this early stage in my game though. Because I'm so likely to catch a duplicate that's stronger than the one I've just wasted stuff trying to power up.
