Convert the array into string and pass the value in query param.

multiSelectHandler = (option) => {
    const details = option.selectedItems;
   const stringData =  details.map(({value}) => `${value}`).join(',');
   console.log(stringData);
  };

Array: Details: Output in console

0: Object { value: "Iphone", label: "Iphone" }
    ​1: Object { value: "Samsung", label: "Samsung"}

After converting into string:Output in console, Iphone,Samsung

Now pass this stringData in queryparam

If you are passing it directly to a url via the form actions it will sent it in the url as this: index.html?cars=saab&cars=opel&cars=audi

Try handling the form via js like this How handle multiple select form in ReactJS
