The wattage rating of a component is its power consumption. This is very important because this determine the amount of power a component can dissipate before its will physically melt down. A 1/2 watt resistor can handle twice more wattage than a 1/4 watt resistor. Bottom line go with the half watt resistor.

Thanks for the superfast answer m8!
