Resistance will decreases... Because R is inversely proportional to Area of the conductor.

Answer

If the conductor has a circular cross-sectional area, then doubling the diameter will reduce the resistance to one quarter of its original distance. This is because area is proportional to the square of the radius, and resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area.
