Instruments strung with thicker (heavier gauge) strings produce more volume and improved tone. However, the string tension is increased which makes the guitar a little harder to play.

Much depends on the correct set-up of the instrument - for example bridge height and neck adjustment via the truss rod. In general, people who want to be able to bend strings easily go for lighter gauge (thinner) strings.

What will happen if the thickness of vibrating string is increased?

Increasing the thickness of a vibrating string will decrease its frequency of vibration, as thicker strings have a lower natural frequency. This will result in a lower pitch when the string is played.
