According to ubuntu documentation, it is pretty easy.

1.Click the icon at the very right of the menu bar and select System Settings.

2.Open Network and select Wireless on the left.

3.Click the Use as Hotspot button.

  1. If you are already connected to a wireless network, you will be asked if you want to disconnect from that network. A single wireless adapter can only connect to or create one network at a time. Click Create Hotspot to confirm.
