Answer:
The expression for resistance is
If the conductor made thicker, the area of cross-section of the conductor increases. So, as area of cross-section increases, the resistance of conductor decreases. Thus, the resistance of conductor decreases if there is the conductor is made thicker.

Answer:
R
=
ρ× l/a
ρ
is resistivity of the material.
l is length of resistance.
a is area of cross-section.
If the conductor made thicker, the area of cross-section of the conductor increases.
As,
R
∝
1
a
So, as area of cross-section increases, the resistance of conductor decreases.
Thus, the resistance of conductor decreases if there is the conductor is made thicker.
hope it's help u
