As Curt suggests, the Text Tool will create a new Text Layer, over your Image.

Then, resize, as is required.

Good luck,

Hunt

Resize what? The entire image or just the text?

Image>Image Size

Scaling up can cause quality issues, due to the lack of detail. Photoshop must fill in the blanks. When ever possible always start with a large image.

Keeping in mind Silkrooster's caveat about the quality deterioration due to resampling, I would suggest also resampling first, and only then creating your type layer in the exact final position and size desired. There's no reason to resample the text as well as the image pixels.
