In Newtonian physics "Yes" since it equals mass x velocity.

In reality (Einsteinian relitivistic physics) it is not proportional since the mass increases with velocity, so momentum increases disproportionally. This would be the extreme extra credit answer.

Yes.

Momentum is mass times velocity:
p = m*v
