The resistance will increase as resistance is inversely proportion to area of cross section. If we decrease the area, resistance will increase.

HI !!
Resistance = R
When the conductor is made thinner [ area decreases] , resistance increases.
This is because Resistance is inversely proportional to area of cross section.
