There is no command to resize an online redolog file. You will have to drop the Logfile groups and recreate them with the desired size. Note that you must have atleast 2 redolog groups anytime and so you will have to add additional redolog file groups with the correct size and then drop the inactive,archived redolog file groups one by one.

Something like

Alter database add logfile group 4 'file spec' size 20m;
Alter database add logfile group 5 'file spec' size 20m;
..
Alter database drop logfile group 1;
etc
When you do encounter an ACTIVE Logfile,which cannot be dropped, you may have to
alter system switch logfile;
and/or
alter sytem archivelog all;
etc to make sure the logfiles you are dropping are INACTIVE and Archived.

Take help from 'Select * from v$log';
Issue that query everytime you add/drop logfiles to make sure everything is in order.

Hope this helps
