Dear student
 

Let the length of image =l
Refractive index of water n2=1.33
Refractive index of air n1=1
l'=l(n2/n1)
=l(1.33/1)
l'=(1.33)l

Hence size in water will be 1.33 time more than original.

I thought the same thing but the answer given is l. If you are sure of your answer then probably the key is wrong
