The first part of the trip will take 2 hours to reach the refueling stop.
After the refueling, the remaining distance is 175 - 2 * 50 = 75 miles.
The time it will take to complete the remaining distance is 75 / 50 = <<75/50=1.5>>1.5 hours.
Therefore, the second part of the trip will take 1.5 hours. Answer: \boxed{1.5}.
