Light shown into the eye will result in a decrease of the papillary diameter which nerves are involved in this reflex?

The levator palpebrae muscle is primarily responsible for opening the eyelids, it is innervated by cranial nerve 3 (occulomotor nerve). Raising the eyebrows, which will also open the eyes wider and may be what you are asking about, is done by occipitofrontalis. This muscle is innervated by cranial nerve 7 (facial nerve).

Which cranial nerve is responsible for adjusting amount of light entering eye?

The amount of light is actually controlled by the iris sphincter muscle, or the iris. It is controlled by parasympathetic fibers that originate from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, travel along the oculomotor nerve (CN III), synapse in the ciliary ganglion, and then enter the eye via the short ciliary nerves.
