The answer depends on whether the cross sectional radius/diameter are doubles or the cross sectional area is doubled.
if length is doubled then resistivity increases&when area is doubled resistivity decreases.
resistance is directly proportional to wire length and inversely proportional to wire cross-sectional area. In other words, If the wire length is doubled, the resistance is doubled too. If the wire diameter is doubled, the resistance will reduce to 1/4 of the original resistance.

The resistance is directly proportional to the length of conductor and inversely proportional to area of the cross section.If the length is doubled then the resistance will double.Resistance=rho*l/arho=resistivity of the material (Ohms/m) and depends on the material used for the wirel=length of the wirea= area of the cross section of the wire.
It is halved.It is halved.It is halved.It is halved.
Resistivity is a property of a substance, and doesn't depend on the dimensions of a sample. If the length of a conductor is doubled, then its resistance doubles but its resistivity doesn't change.
Area = length*width new Area = 2 * length * width Area is doubled
The Area of a square can be written as it's side length^2, orA = s^2if the side length is doubled, then s' is 2s.A' = (s')^2A' = (2s)^2A' = 4s^2 = 4*AWhen the side length is doubled, the area increases by a factor of 4
Assuming the wire follows Ohm's Law, the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length therefore doubling the length will double the resistance of the wire. However when the length of the wire is doubled, its cross-sectional area is halved. ( I'm assuming the volume of the wire remains constant and of course that the wire is a cylinder.) As resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area, halving the area leads to doubling the resistance. The combined effect of doubling the length and halving the cross-sectional area is that the original resistance of the wire has been quadrupled.
When the diameter of a wire is doubled, its cross-sectional area increases by a factor of four. Resistance is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area, so the resistance would decrease by a factor of four.
if length and width are doubled then the volume should mulitiply by 8
The area also doubles.
