I would say 4x6; 5x7 if you're interest is more in the subject than the photograph. You can go bigger, but 8x10 will not look that good and you'll pay a lot more for it.
It might be fun to see if you can get a decent 8x10 out of it. Clean the little lens really well and then try uprezzing the image. If you want to try larger prints for cheap, Costco is a great option.
You can scale up to 8X10 but what you'll get with regular software is big fuzzy image. Doing it in small steps using something like neat image in between you can remove a lot of the fuzziness. Using something like geuine fractals will produce an image with nice crisp lines but it will also be odd looking without the detail.
General rule of thumb for printing is about 250 to 300 dpi because that is the max the human eye can see at the standard viewing length while holding it in your hand. If the image is 1200px * 900px you'd just divide it by 300 which is a 4in. * 3in. image.
If you're going to put it up on the wall you can make it bigger because the viewing length is much farther.
we routinely sell 4-5 meg photos up to 16x20 ....works well... of couse we can go bigger depending on viewing distance.
