Let's assume by "watts out" you mean watts forward.

SWR = 1 + SqRt(Pr/Pf) / 1 - SqRt(Pr/Pf)

For 100 watts forward and 10 watts reflected:

SWR = 1 +SqRt(10/100) / 1 - SqRt(10/100) = 1 + 0.31623 / 1 - 0.31623 = 1.31623 / 0.68377 =  1.92

For 200 watts forward and 10 watts reflected:

SWR = 1 +SqRt(10/200) / 1 - SqRt(10/200) = 1 + 0.22361 / 1 - 0.22361 = 1.22361 / 0.77639 =  1.58

    If there are 100 watts out and 10 watts reflected, what's the swr?
 
    If there are 200 watts out and 10 watts reflected, what's the swr?
 
    Tnx.
 
Cheers,
