That depends on the values of the resistors.

If the same two resistors are used in both cases, then the total resistance is more in series and less in parallel.

Here's a catchy little factoid for ya:

-- In series, the total resistance is more than the biggest single one.

-- In parallel, the total resistance is less than the smallest single one.
