If by "bigger" you mean having more protons, then Krypton has more, and therefore is heavier, weighing in at 83.8 (atomic weight). Potassium weighs a mere 39.0983. However, if by "bigger" you mean how much space it takes up, the atomic radius of Potassium is 227 pm, as opposed to Krypton's radius of 88 pm. The atomic radius is the average distance from the nucleus to the outside boundary of the electron cloud.

I'd go to the internet for more, but hope this helps anyway.
