So please help me how to run the same iphone size app in the ipad.

I believe you need to change the app target from Universal to iPhone. (check sample image)

Go to: [Project Targets] > Summary > iOS Application Target > Devices > iPhone

This way the iPad will open your app as a legacy iPhone app.

(This worked for me in a simple example, but there may also be more work involved in ensuring you are building for iPhone only and not using any iPad-only UI elements.)
