Answer:

As suggested in the name itself:

a short circuit makes the circuit 'short' which causes the resistance of the circuit to be close to none

When the resistance is decreased, the amount of current flowing in the circuit increases (ohm's law: R ∝ 1/ I)

Therefore, in case of a short-circuit. More current will flow in the circuit
