Well, to be broken down, resistance is the opposition that a substance offers to the flow of an electric current.

What would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased, but the resistance stayed the same would be this:
The current, being directly proportional to the voltage, would increase, causing the light bulb to increase I'm brilliance, which means: it would simply become brighter.

Hope I helped you out!
