The current will flow more easily through thick wire. It is because the resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross - section. If thicker the wire, less is resistance and hence more easily the current flows.

Current flows more easily through a thick wire. Because if the wire is thick resistance is less. Therefore thick wire is required.
