Is even potential difference directly to proportional to resistance in a circuit?

According to the ohm's law:current in the circuit is directly proportional to the voltage avross the conductor.V∝IV = IRwhere R is the resistane of the conductor.so we can say that higher is the resistance, higher is the voltage hence lower is the current.
