<u>Increase the thickness of the wire</u> would decrease the resistance in a wire

Explanation:

Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded. The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.

Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.
