The other 2 answers are both incomplete. So here is a combination of both

Replace YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_ID_INTEGER with your attribute_id like 355

UPDATE `eav_attribute` SET `backend_model`="Magento\\Eav\\Model\\Entity\\Attribute\\Backend\\ArrayBackend",`backend_type`="varchar",`frontend_input`="multiselect", `source_model`=NULL WHERE `attribute_id`=YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_ID_INTEGER LIMIT 1

Yes, frontend_input should be 'mulitselect' and you need to update your frontend_model to 'Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Backend\ArrayBackend' and NULL out the source_model in the 'eav_attribute' table.

there is no option in Magento2 to change attribute input type from dropdown to multiple select

however you can delete and create new attribute with same attribute code from admin.

or If you want to change same attribute than you need to change it directly in Database as below

: frontend_input = 'multipleselect' and backend_type = 'varchar'
