The answer is 720 million.

Since the population doubles every hour, we will go hour by hour and double the size:
After one hour:     45 million cells × 2 = 90 million cells
After two hours:    90 million cells × 2 = 180 million cells
After three hours: 180 million cells × 2 = 360 million cells
After four hours:   360 million cells × 2 = 720 million cells
