If I put a gallon of 10% cider vinegar in a shallow pan and let 1/2 gallon evaporate, will that make it double its strength?

acetic acid is almost as volatile as water, and the atmosphere contains a lot less of it. If you evaporate vinegar, you're likely to lose about as much - maybe more - of the acid than the water. So, evaporation is probably not a good way to concentrate vinegar.
