there’s some ways to do it, but the easiest one is:

when the space bar is pressed, record the current time. when it’s released, calculate the duration by subtracting the press time from the current time. i’ll leave an example below

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local defaultJumpPower = humanoid.JumpPower
local maxJumpPower = 100 
local pressTime = nil

local function onJumpRequest()
    if pressTime then
        local duration = tick() - pressTime
        local jumpPowerIncrease = math.min(duration * 50, maxJumpPower - defaultJumpPower)
        humanoid.JumpPower = defaultJumpPower + jumpPowerIncrease
        task.wait(0.1)
        humanoid.JumpPower = defaultJumpPower
        pressTime = nil
    end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if not gameProcessed then
        if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
            pressTime = tick()
        end
    end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
        onJumpRequest()
    end
end)

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
    humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    humanoid.JumpPower = defaultJumpPower
end)
