Answer

The Young’s modulus does not change.

Work Step by Step

The Young’s modulus doesn’t change with the size of the object. It depends only on the material itself – see Table 11.1. It is a so-called “intensive” property of an object, similar to mass density (for example, a large aluminum block has the same density as a small aluminum block).
