Answer: There may be two types of resistances here:
Air resistance: for example when something is falling down, the air will push the object upwards. As a bigger surface has the object, more air is pushing, so if you want to reduce the resistance yo must reduce the surface area. For example, a sheet of paper will experience more resistance if it is open if you make a small ball with it.
Electric resistance: This is the resistance of conductors against the electrons that try to travel along with it.
there are two equations here.
R = p*L/A, this talks about the volume and density of the conductor, where p is the density, L is the length and A is the area perpendicular to the direction in which the electricity flows.
Then if you reduce the length, and increase the area, the resistance will be reduced.
the other equation is: R(T) = R0( 1 + a*(T - 20°))
Where R0 is the resistance at 20° and a is a coefficient for T = 20°.
Here, you can see that at smaller temperatures, the resistance decreases, so we can conclude that we must increase the area, and decrease the length and temperature.
