The invention discloses a tubular continuous method for preparing cyclopropanecarboxylic acid. In the method, gamma-butyrolactone used as a raw material reacts with thionyl chloride and alcohol to produce 4-chlorobutyrate; after the reaction liquid is processed in an acid gas removing way and an alcohol recycling way, the reaction liquid and liquid sodium alkoxide are synthesized to obtain cyclopropanecarboxylate in a tubular reactor; the rectified cyclopropanecarboxylate is firstly hydrolyzed in alkali liquor and then neutralized with acid to obtain crude cyclopropanecarboxylic acid; and the crude cyclopropanecarboxylic acid is rectified to obtain the pure cyclopropanecarboxylic acid. The synthetic technique of the cyclopropanecarboxylic acid adopts the tubular continuous reactor, thereby effectively reducing the equipment investment and enhancing the investment efficiency; the continuous reaction can conveniently realize automatic control, thereby ensuring the continuity and the stability of the production, saving the manual cost, realizing the safe production operation and enhancing the purity and the yield of the product; and the invention adopts a technique of adding solid caustic soda again in the second aqueous phase for recycling, thereby fully and comprehensively utilizing the resources, enhancing the yield for hydrolysis and greatly reducing the cost.
