From an internet astronomy page:
"Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye." 
The Red Planet is about to be spectacular! This month and next, Earth is catching up with Mars in an encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287
Mars has not come this close to Earth in the Last 5,000 years, but it may be as long as
60,000 years before it happens again
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within 34,649,589 miles of Earth and will be(next to the moon) the
brightest object in the night sky.
Mars will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.
Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of August it will rise in
the east at 10 p.m. and reach its azimuth at
about 3 a.m. By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars will
rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30a.m. That's pretty convenient to see something that no human
being has seen in recorded history.. So, mark your calendar at the beginning of August to see Mars grow progressively brighter and brighter throughout the month.
