Any way to get image responsive?

So I have an image that when I click it when the browser is resized to an phone, it appears larger, using jQuery. Right now when the browser is phone sized and I click it, the image doesn't fit with the screen, I guess the jQuery doesn't respond to the browser size. How would I fix that so the expanded image sizes with the browser? Here's the jQuery:

// problem: user when clicking on image goes to a dead end
// solution: create an overlay with the large image - Lightbox

var $overlay = $('<div id="overlay"></div>');
var $image = $("<img>");

$overlay.append($image);

$("body").append($overlay); 

$(".img a").click(function(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    var imageLocation = $(this).attr("href");

    $image.attr("src", imageLocation);

    $overlay.show();  
});

$overlay.click(function(){
    $(this).hide();
});

Have you tried using a smaller image when its the phone size? I would put it in the query where it recognizes the phone size.
