The correct answer is: be halved

The inverse of resistance of any wire or conductor is defined as conductance.

conductance G=1R

Resistance of a wire is given by

R=ρLA

Here, ρ= Resistivity of wire,

L= Length of the wire,

A= Cross-sectional area.

If the length of the wire is doubled, the resistance will also get doubled.

thus the conductance of the wire will be halved.
