15.1 upgrade shrunk icon folder (not app) size. Becuz folder is so small can’t read icon labels. How do you increase the folder size back to what it was? “Use Large App Icon” doesn’t increase folder size.

You're Not Alone:
Looking into this further, it seems to be a common problem. As of this reply 344 People are having the same issue. See here: How to change icon sizes on iPad with iOS 15 - Apple Community

The “adjustment” doesn’t increase the size at all, no increase. Have you read the discussion referred to above: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/253166234.
We don’t need the text to be bold. We want the folder size that the upgrade shrunk to return to the original size.
Thanks for your suggestions but they don’t change anything
You’ll not be able to increase the size of the App Folder icons - but you can increase the size of the Folder (and App Name) labels to improve readability:
Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size
Increase the text size by clicking on tick marks to the right of centre - each tick mark being larger than the preceding - tick marks the left of centre are smaller than the default (centre) position.

Two Things:
A. Spread your Fingers:
What happens when you spread you fingers (thumb and index finger) apart on the screen? Are you able to increase the size?
No Success?
B. Use a Magnifier. Have a magnifier handy? If so, use it to zoom in.
Settings > Display & Brightness > Text Size does NOT increase the text size of the folder name and/or the app names within the folders. It does increase text when you are reading content but NOT folder name or app names.
if the upgrade shrunk the folders, an upgrade should return the folder original size.
Well, the adjustment does make difference, just not [perhaps] as much as you’d like to see…
You might also consider enabling Bold Text (a restart may be required):
Settings > Display & Brightness > Bold Text - set to ON
