Easily in thick.
Resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the wire
Resistance increases with a decrease in cross-sectional area and it decreases with increase in cross-sectional area
So, we can say. for a lesser cross-sectional area more will be the resistance and more be the resistance less easily current will flow.

YES ITS BIG YS
because--The current will flow more easily through thick wire. It is because the resistance .
conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross – section. If thicker the wire, less is resistance and hence more easily the current flows.
