Select the line, go to Window and check Stroke. A pulldown will show what size stroke you have currently and what you can choose. You can also type in the stroke size you want while the line is selected. I usually go to Effect/Path/Outline stroke and it will outline the stroke to the size you want making it a path.
How do you make a path thicker in Illustrator?
Yes, you can make the outlined path thicker. Simplest way is to just apply a stroke on the outlines. This will then be added to your stroke (so remember it needs to be 1/2 the additional weight you need). Closed outlines may need this done to both sides.
How do I change the thickness of a line in Illustrator?
If you need further variation on your line weight, you can manually adjust the line using the Width Tool (Shift+W). Using this tool you can manually drag the line weight at any given point, or even add points. Once you’ve made adjustments to the line you can then save the line as a new stroke profile.
