Depends what exactly you want to change. If you to change the width of 
the eps/pdf file you could say

  <<echo=TRUE,fig=TRUE,height=4,width=6>>=

as you would do in a postscript() or pdf() call in R.


If you want to increase the width of the plot in LaTeX, you could do

  \setkeys{Gin}{width=0.8\textwidth}

which corresponds to the setting of

  \includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{mygraphic}
