This is very difficult to predict because the rate of the rise is always different.

The sea levels have always been rising throughout history, as landmasses grow larger due to underground volcanic activity, increasing the volume (like a human sitting in a bathtub, causing the water to rise). The ice on the planet has also been slowly thawing for over thousands of years. The last significant change to the ocean levels was during the end of the Ice Age, when all the ice on Earth melted.

Since the end of the ice age over 11,400 years ago, the oceans have risen 4 feet per century. At this approximate rate, 100 years time from 2014, the oceans may rise about 1.5 feet. But as already stated, it's difficult to predict.
