Please refer to the manual, 12.7.4 LaTeX specific attributes:

  http://orgmode.org/org.html#LaTeX-specific-attributes

In particular

   :float 
      Float environment for the table. Possible values are
      sidewaystable, multicolumn and table. If unspecified, a table
      with a caption will have a table environment. Moreover,
     :placement attribute can specify the positioning of the
      float.

So you'd put something like 

   #+ATTR_LATEX: :float multicolumn

above your picture.
