Is a higher value for k result in a stiffer/less stretchy spring, or a less stiff/more stretchy spring?

if value of k is high then it results less stretchy spring

Explanation:

As we know by formula of spring force

F = kx

here we know

k = spring constant

x = stretch in the spring

Now we know that when same force is applied on two types of spring then the stretch of the spring is given as

so if the value of k is higher then the stretch in the spring will be less as it is inversely depends on the spring constant.

So here we can say that if value of k is high then it results less stretchy spring
