Actually, even if the density was constant, the earth would turn into a black hole when it reached about 1.925 * 10^13 times its original mass, since the mass of a black hole is proportional to its radius, whereas the mass of the earth in this scenario grows proportional to radius cubed. This should happen around 371 years (?) after starting.
