Once you've scanned the image, look at "Scale" in the xsane viewer's
menus.  Or scan at a higher resolution - that often makes the scanned
image larger than the original, but without the inherent drawbacks of
scaling up a lower resolution image (jaggies).

Failing any (or all) of the above, Gimp can do what you want.  In fact,
you can scan from within Gimp if you have the right plugins installed.
Even Gwenview (KDE image viewer) can resize images.  No doubt there are
plenty of other viewers that can, too.
