Dear student

Keeping volume const

If new length is 2l

New radius is r/(sqrt(2))

R = roh ( l/ area)

Rnew = 4 R

R = p L/A
New l` = 2l ..
Due to increase in length, area must decrease as volume remains constant..
Al = A`l` 
Hence, A` = A/2 
New Resistance R` = pl`/A` = 4pl/A
Change in resistance = 3pl/A or 300 %
