You need to edit the file

/usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf

uncomment the line

HandleLidSwitch=suspend

and change it to

HandleLidSwitch=ignore

Thank you for your reply, but there is no "logind.conf" file in /usr/lib/systemd/ .
when i try to open it ,the Scratch gives me this error :

Scratch.vala:219: Error when getting information for file '/usr/lib/systemd/logind.conf': No such file or directory

I found the solution!

1. open the terminal. When it opens, run the command below to open the configuration file via Scratch:

sudo scratch-text-editor /etc/systemd/logind.conf

2. Find out the line #HandleLidSwitch=suspend, remove the # and change it to:

    HandleLidSwitch=poweroff to shutdown computer when lid is closed
    HandleLidSwitch=hibernate to hibernate computer when lid is closed
    HandleLidSwitch=ignore to do nothing

3. Save the file and restart the service or just restart your laptop to apply changes.

sudo restart systemd-logind

That’s it. Enjoy!
