Ohm's law is represented by the equation #I =V/R#. How would the current change if the amount of resistance decreased and the voltage stayed the same?

It would increase.

Explanation:

As you said: Ohm's law is represented by the equation #I=V/R#
Where:
I is the current
V is the voltage
R is the resistance

A lower R means that the ratio V/R becomes higher (when V is the same) which results in a higher current.
