You can't. Changing th ephysical dimension of a bitmap changes the resolution. Whether or not you'll see thi sdepends onthe images native resolution and the required resolution of the output device.
The monitor display will most likely not be affected until you get to the poinbt where the image drops below 96 PPI dependin on the monitor.

Hi SPRTLMAN,
maybe you are not really asking what you seem to be asking. If you are talking about resolution as in "pixels per inch" (incorrectly labeled as "dots per inch" in Photo-Paint) then you can only do this with some loss in quality. To do so you would:
This will effectively magnify your image at a loss of quality.
If, on the otherhand, you wish to make the physical size of the image larger (i.e. when printed) while maintaining the original pixel dimensions, then you would have to:
This will resize the image for printing, but the resolution (pixels per inch) will be reduced from what it was before you resized the image. As David says, there is no way to make the image physically larger and maintain the resolution without losing quality as you have to add extra pixels to the image to achieve what you are asking.
