A lamp with a thinner filament will draw more current when plugged into a 120 Volt source. This is because a thinner filament has higher resistance, and according to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), the current (I) increases as resistance (R) decreases for a given voltage (V). Therefore, the lamp with the thick filament, having lower resistance, will draw less current compared to the lamp with the thin filament.
