Dynamically change width of label based on text

So basically i'm developing a project in swift and i want to change the size of a label based on the text content within the array below.

private let cellItems = ["All", "Design", "Development", "Social"]

Each label is within a collectionviewcell and this is where i am creating the cells and setting their text content.

    func collectionView(collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {

        let cell: colvwCell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCellWithReuseIdentifier("newsCell", forIndexPath: indexPath) as! colvwCell

        cell.typeLbl.text = cellItems[indexPath.row]

       // Stuck here

        return cell;

    }

But this is where i am stuck since i'm unsure on what to do next can anyone offer any help or advice on how to achieve this.
