As mentioned width and height, but a lot of responsive sites these days will use max-width which means that the image will not push out of its container and push things around.

img            { max-width:100%; }

You can set the size by creating a class for the image.

.img {
   width: 200px;
   height: 200px;
}

If you are using bootstrap you can use the ".image-responsive" class too.
