Since the rate law is Rate = k[A][B], increasing the concentration of B by a factor of 5 will increase the rate by a factor of $5^1 = 5$, thus the rate increases by a factor of 25 ($5^2 = 25$) because the concentration of B appears to the first power in the rate law, and we are increasing B by a factor of 5.
