Dear Student,
Let the initial length and area of cross-section of the wire be L and A.
Let the resistivity of the material of the wire be ρ.
The initial resistance of the wire will then be given by:
R=ρLA
Given,
the length of the wire is doubled by pulling it. Then its new length will be L' = 2L.
Since no new material is adding, the volume of the material remains constant before and after pulling it.
Let its new area of cr0ss-section after pulling be A'.
Then
L'A' = LASo,A'=LAL'=LA2L=A2

Let the r​​​​esistance of the wire after pulling be R'
Then
R'=ρA'L'=ρA2×2L=14.ρAL=R4
Regards
