Hey petros123456,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com 
I don't think there is a formula involved. It has become fairly standard to open 2.2-2.5x in MTTs. You also open your whole range at the same size raise to disguise the strength of your starting hand.
Don't fall into the trap of sizing your opens by your actual hand strength. I still see guys at the micros opening 2-3x and all of a sudden open 5x. You can guess what happens next. Everyone folds and villain complains how no-one calls when he has AA. 
Why not take a moment or two to Introduce yourself! to us properly.
Cheers 
Laz
