You don't have to use <big> tag because of its limitation in changing the font size and no longer supported in modern HTML version. It can be easily replaced by the CSS font-size property which is supported in all platforms and can change to the custom size.

<head>
<style>
p {
  font-size: 16px;
}
</style>
</head>
