Industrialization actually led to the sharp rise of the world population between 1700 to 2000. It shot from 1 billion in 1800s (mostly pre-industrial) to 7 billion (post-industrial) in 2000s in 200 years.

It's likely that if the plague never had a real effect, lets put the world population doubled by 1800 aka 2 billion (due to urbanization thanks to the waves of the plague and other things, but not from industrial revolution). It can take another reasonable 200 years for Europe to reach 3.5 Billion people.

However, since the tech year is 1450, Europe's population would get killed off eventually (because evolutionary point of view, the more stronger people survived the plague and reproduced, so it's building up) in later chapters.
