Confused about resistance

[juggalomike]

Homework Statement

A cylindrical copper rod of length L and cross-sectional area A is re-formed to
twice its original length with no change in volume. If the resistance between its
ends was originally R, what is it now?

Homework Equations

R=p(L/A)

The Attempt at a Solution

Using the above equation the answer would be 2R, however the correct answer is 4R. Why is this? I am studying for a test tomorrow and need to understand why this is so.

If it has the same volume but twice the length, what will happen to the cross-sectional area?

If it has the same volume but twice the length, what will happen to the cross-sectional area?

ahhh, it will be 1/2 of the original, thanks.
