You can do it two different ways.
Either increase 'emission' OR increase the density values by a factor
based upon the change in size.
I tried a 10 times reduction (scale 2.5 rather than 25) on the media
container object and raised the emission 10 times (0.5 rather than
0.05). This makes the same thing as the original.
Oh, and the camera location and look_at numbers were all brought down to
one tenth too (not angle 35, same for it) and also the translate 25*y
changed to 2.5*y to keep the view the same.
'density' can instead be raised 10 times and emission left alone. Skip
scattering altogether if at all possible.

So, it's rather simple. Just go higher or lower as much as you go up or
down in size scale.
