When doubling internet speed, does it increase linearly?

So I'm thinking of increasing my internet by 40mbps, also doubling it. This is because in the furthest corners in my apartment I have 1mbps. So when I increase will I get 41mbps or 2mbps in those areas?

You will likely still get 1Mbps in that location... Even if you increase your internet speeds to 1Gbps, you will only likely only get 1Mbps in that location. This is a WiFi issue, not a internet speed issue.

If you increase your WAN speed, your WiFi will stay the same bottleneck it is now. To improve speed "in the furthest corners" you need to improve WiFi connectivity first.
Your water tap is somewhat clogged. It won't matter if you double the pipe to the waterworks, until you fix the tap. Similar situation.

Just for clarity there are two links / connections here, not one:
- From your ISP to your house.
- It has bandwidth of 40 Mbit/s
- From your router to the WiFi device(s) "in the furthest corners of your apartment"
- It has bandwidth of 1 Mbit/s
The bottleneck here is link #2.
Doubling the speed of link #1 will not affect link #2 at all, unless you reduce it to less than the speed of link #2 (at which point, link #1 will become the bottleneck).
Think of it like pipes (as per Kamil's answer), or roads...
A highway / motorway might have 3 lanes in each direction, while a back road will have one lane for both directions with passing places. You can't get more cars down that back road by making the motorway leading up to it larger.
In this situation you want to look into moving your WiFi access point (often built into the router), or if that isn't possible, look into getting WiFi range extenders.
If the 40 Mbit/s connection is adequate for everything you need, there is no reason to upgrade that link - it won't help with this problem. If you have been advised that it will help, then unfortunately that advice was incorrect.

To answer your question, it increases mostly rationally (the latter) - if you imagine it as waves bouncing around your house, an increase by 20% just means that the signal is 20% stronger to get through walls, etc. What it is near the router means nothing, since it still has to travel through the air!
However, this is not perfect either, as when it travels we can't imagine that no energy is absorbed by the surroundings, but the absorption doesn't increase rationally. So I'd estimate it would go from around 1mbps to 1.8mbps, although it may vary.
It may just be wiser to consider wireless boosters; they're only $20-30 (depending on what router and ISP you use) or buying a better router. Increasing what comes out of the socket may be useful to some extent, but it's a waste of money compared to buying a stronger router, which will not increase your maximum internet speed (i.e when you are next to the router, the speed will be the same as before), but it will extend the range in which the signal is usable. TPLink makes good ones for $70; they generally have 4+ 3-axis flexible antennas, meaning you can push the signal in multiple directions.
Hope this helped.

I mean physical boosters, which have super-strong receivers and re-transmit signal. We got a pair and they work fine; you can hook them up with Ethernet-in from the router, and they just act as a second transmitter. See: amazon.co.uk/dp/B005O7ZUPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9ROSBb4RBTWQF (this is an expensive one, but you can find perfectly functional ones for around £15 on eBay or Amazon).

Your first two paragraphs are incorrect. They would only be increasing the connection speed at the access point. Without signal boosters, the strength of the wireless signal would still the be exact same at the furthest corners, therefore not improving upload/download speeds.

I mean physical boosters, which have super-strong receivers and re-transmit signal. We got a pair and they work fine; you can hook them up with Ethernet-in from the router, and they just act as a second transmitter. See: amazon.co.uk/dp/B005O7ZUPE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_9ROSBb4RBTWQF (this is an expensive one, but you can find perfectly functional ones for around £15 on eBay or Amazon).

Please do not downvote my post and leave a patronising comment if you are the one unable to comprehend what I write and realise that I am write. There need be no unicorns, just a few radio signals and great engineering.

Your first two paragraphs are incorrect. They would only be increasing the connection speed at the access point. Without signal boosters, the strength of the wireless signal would still the be exact same at the furthest corners, therefore not improving upload/download speeds.

You will likely still get 1Mbps in that location... Even if you increase your internet speeds to 1Gbps, you will only likely only get 1Mbps in that location. This is a WiFi issue, not a internet speed issue.
