As we learnt in 

Radius of nth orbital -

r_{n}= frac{epsilon _{0}n^{2}h^{2}}{pi mZe^{2}}

 

- wherein

r_{n}alpha : frac{n^{2}}{Z}

frac{epsilon_{0}h^{2}}{pi me^{2}}= 0.529A^{circ}

 

 

\\ r=r_{o}*\frac{n^{2}}{Z} \: \: \: \: \: \: =\frac{r_{o}}{Z} (\because n=1) \\ \\ \therefore r\propto \frac{1}{Z}

r will be minimum for doubly ionized lithium since it has highest value of Z=3
