If Betelgeuse were to go supernova

If Betelgeuse were to go supernova would the sky be twice as bright, or day time extended, depending on what time of year it happened in.

Basically when it does supernova how bright and large will it appear in the sky, and how do you work out the apparent brightness and size for something that hasn't happened yet?
