How can I make the size of the font in a label larger?

I used this function to display the text :

function OnGUI()
{
    GUI.color = Color.green;
    GUI.Label(Rect(500,350,200,50),"Lose");
}

And that results in:

Simply create an appropriate GUIStyle and set the fontSize. Pass this to your label and you're good to go.

So something like this:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class FontSizeExample : MonoBehaviour 
{

    GUIStyle smallFont;
    GUIStyle largeFont;

    void Start () 
    {
        smallFont = new GUIStyle();
        largeFont = new GUIStyle();

        smallFont.fontSize = 10;
        largeFont.fontSize = 32;
    }

    void OnGUI()
    {
        GUI.Label(new Rect(100, 100, 300, 50), "SMALL HELLO WORLD", smallFont);
        GUI.Label(new Rect(100, 200, 300, 50), "LARGE HELLO WORLD", largeFont);
    }
}

will result in
