MCB trips as soon as a water heating coil is used.

presently there is an C6 MCB can I replace it to 16 to resolve this problem
What kind of water heating coil are we talking about?
(A 6A MCB sounds rather low for most heating circuits - that would limit
the heater power to about 1300W - however you can only substitute a
higher trip current MCB if the cable size is large enough to remain
protected)
