just find by how much does the spring stretches when you displace the mass by x

Let the spring be stretched by x0 and the block be displaced by x.

If the restoring force on the block be Fr.

Note, 2x0=x ... (i)

2Fr = kx0

x0 = 2Frk

Put in (i),

4Frk=x

4mω2x = kx

ω = 12√(k/m)

Time period = 4\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Ohh thanks Ashish i did everything right except equating 2fr=kxo i equated
fr=kxo
