nav li {  
  display: inline;  
  font-size: 18px;  
  margin: 0 auto;  
  border-right: 3vw solid transparent;  
  padding: 10px;  
  text-align: center;  
}  

obviously, you'll want to play with the values.

Just so I'm sure I understand the question, you only want to resize the border on the right side of the nav?

yes of each of my list item anchors its a 1px solid black border

Do you want to create extra space to the right of each nav li when the browser window gets bigger?

Try setting the border in vw units. 1vw = 1% of viewport width.

Here's a link: https://web-design-weekly.com/2014/11/18/viewport-units-vw-vh-vmin-vmax/

Does that seem like what you're looking for?

Maybe you could adjust the nav height in your CSS?
