Answer:

As resistance to flow increases, blood flow will decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Resistance is a force that opposes the flow of a fluid. In blood vessels, most of the resistance is due to vessel diameter. As vessel diameter decreases, the resistance to flow increases and blood flow decreases.
