Stay, along with other words like become, belong, keep, etc. are trickier in Spanish than English because they usually require more precise usages.
To say "Are you staying (any) longer", I would say using the reflexive quedarse más tiempo where "longer" refers to longer time.
¿Te quedas más tiempo? Are you staying longer?
La enfermera dijo: "No; ni por todo el dinero del mundo me quedaría por más tiempo. The nurse said, "No, for no money in the world would I stay for any longer time."

Pues, es muy mal que no hay ningun moderador es disponible para corregir lo que he escrito. - Xocoyote, Feb 14, 2012
You could say too: "¿Te vas a quedar más tiempo?" or "¿Te quedarás más tiempo?" - Cordobesa, Feb 14, 2012

The word 'quedar' is a good verb to click in on the dictionary search box.

You could use the present progressive.....
Estás quedando por más tiempo.
