the length of a wire is doubled how is its resistive affected

Answer:
As a wire gets longer its resistance increases, and as it gets thinner its resistance also increases because its cross sectional area decreases. Doubling the length will double the resistance, but the wire also must get thinner as it is stretched, because it will contain the same amount of metal in twice the length.

Answer:
The Resistivity of the wire will not change with the change in length. Resistivity is a property of the wire, it doesn't depend upon it's length or cross-sectional area. However, If you are asking about Resistance, it will increase to 4 times it's initial value.
