Rolling resistance is largely a function of sidewall deflection. At any given pressure, a wider tire will have less sidewall deflection than a narrow tire. Narrow tires achieve low rolling resistance by using high pressures, at the expense of rider comfort. Narrow tires are arguably more aerodynamic than wide tires, but at the speeds most of us ride it's not a significant difference.
