The equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction is the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant for the forward reaction, and if the coefficients in the balanced equation are multiplied by a factor, the equilibrium constant is raised to the power of that factor. Therefore, reversing the reaction and doubling the coefficients results in $K' = (1/10)^2 = 0.01$.
