It will get too hot.
Can you re-arrange the elements?

If it's just a small load use a transformer to drop the Voltage.

If I understand you correctly, I'd say you will create a light bulb, or possibly start a fire before it melts.
That would be 4 times the power.

It is hard to say with any certainty, but if you are talking about hooking up a 220V heater to 440V you will get 4 times as much heat and this will likely result in a dramatic reduction in the heater's life.
