Depends on how much smaller my planet was. If my Earth were too small to create enough gravity to hold an atmosphere or an ocean, I would not be here -- indeed, no life would be here -- to get upset over too small a planet.
I'm sure it's the same situation on your planet.

Would a smaller planet than earth with the same shape and size have more gravity?
If the planet is smaller, then it can't have the same size. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same density as Earth (and therefore less mass), its surface gravity will be smaller. If you assume that a smaller planet has the same mass as Earth (and therefore more density), its surface gravity will be greater. This is because we would be closer to the planet's center - or to the planet's matter in general.
