Don't top post with unedited fullquote below: it makes reading your

epsfig is a very outdated package.  Is there a particular reason you
don't use graphicx which has been available for a lot of years now?

With it you can say things like
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]
to scale to fit 80% of the total width, or use the scale=0.5 option
or a number of other things.
