If I'm interpreting your question correctly, if the probability of heads is three times the probability of tails, then we have $P(\text{heads}) = 3/4$ and $P(\text{tails}) = 1/4$.

Because the probability of getting no heads is $1/4 \cdot 1/4 = 1/16$, the probability of getting at least one head is $15/16$.
