200 cc for one cup size
In most women, 200 to 250 cc will increase one cup size. However, the variability in cup size among bra manufacturers varies widely and the higher the cup size the more the variability.

Going to upsize breast implants with high profile silicone implants
A 200cc increase in breast implant size could potentially increase the breast size by 1 cup size, but it may also be a little more or a little less. Impossible to say for sure, because brassiere manufacturers are so inconsistent.

Will I Be a 32DD?
All anyone can say for sure is you will be larger. There are no standardized definitions of cup size, and many of us are reluctant to talk to patients in terms of cup size for that reason.
