Cannot answer the question without the information Blue notes above. The rule states that they cannot be put out between the bases where the runner was obstructed.
However, the award should be the base the runner would have reached had the obstruction not occur. So, if the runner was obstructed going back to 2B, there really isn't any indication the runner would have been safe at any other base than 2B had the obstruction not occurred.
