Well on some preliminary reading of some old uni texts, I found that the equation for critical damping is

Ccr = 2(k.m)^0.5.... ie 2 x square root of (spring stiffness x mass)

This looks promising because it means that to maintain critical damping, if you change the spring stiffness from k1 to k2 then critical damping will change as follows

Ccr2 = Ccr1(k2/k1)^0.5..... ie multiplied by the square root of the stiffness ratio.

Thats assuming that you have a known combination of stiffness and damping that gives critically damped motion to compare with.
I might look a bit further into it and let you know what I come up with.
