Theoretically ‘thickness’ would be the right property, except flags are 
font glyphs.
And unfortunately the *-straight-flag stencil procedures don’t heed any 
settings for thickness:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2" % tested with 2.19.42 as well
\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \override Flag.stencil = #old-straight-flag
    \override Flag.thickness = 5
  }
}

{
  8 16\noBeam 32
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
