Is electrostatic potential a vector or a scalar quantity?

The electric charges $+2q$, $+2q$, $-2q$ and $-2q$ are placed at the corners of a square of side $2L$ as shown in the figure. The electric potential at point $A$, midway between the two charges $+2q$ and $+2q$, is $(\epsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of free space})$

If the difference in potential energy due to the movement of $q_3$ from $C$ to $D$ is given by $\frac{q_3 K}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}$,find the value of $K$.
