Pluto's diameter is about 2300 km, while its moon Charon has an estimated diameter of 1200 km. Of course, remembering that volume is related to the cube of linear dimensions, that means Pluto's volume is actually about eight times that of Charon.

Does it matter how big moons are?
Moons do not have to be any size but if the moon is bigger than the planet that it orbits, then the moon becomes the planet because it has more gravitational force.
Which moon is as large as the planet it orbits?
None. The closest case that we have in our solar system that of Charon, Pluto's largest moon, which about roughly half the diameter of Pluto. Since Pluto is no longer considered a planet the largest moon-planet size ratio is that of our own moon, which is about one quarter the diameter of Earth.
