Our sun currently has a diameter of 1.4 x 106 kilometres. One AU is approximately 150 x 106 kilometres. The sun is then currenly around 0.01 AU in diameter.
Red giants can expand to tens or hundreds of times the sun's current diameter. The sun would, being in the middle of the mass range in which stars form red giants, would probably end up being somewhere between 0.5 and 1.5 AU in diameter, possibly nearer the end of the range.
