Normally you would observe the star's brightness, not its apparent diameter.The star's apparent brightness ("apparent magnitude") depends on its real brightness ("absolute magnitude"), and on the distance.

Similarly, the star's apparent angular diameter (which is VERY hard to measure) would depend on its actual diameter, and on the distance.
