Much like the aperture on a camera the pupils dilate to allow more light to fall onto the optical receptors. In bright settings there is less need for light and pupils constrict.

It shouldn't do. The normal reaction is that the pupil becomes smaller when it's light.

Pupils naturally widen to allow in more light to enable you to see better when it's dark, when you close your eyes your pupils are simply reacting to the fact that it has gone dark.
