By Ohm's law, 

               V=IR

            I=\frac{V}{R}

V=  potential difference

I =current

R = resistance

Now, the potential difference is reduced to half i.e.  

                                                                               V'=\frac{V}{2}

R' = R=resistance

I' =current

I'=\frac{\frac{V}{2}}{R}=\frac{V}{2R}=\frac{I}{2}

The current flow is reduced to half.
