When I use the command \underbrace{something}, the text 'something' appears
too small. I wish that it appears in normal size as what is underbraced. How
can I change the font size of 'something'/

I don't think so. When you write

\underbrace{something}_{xyz}

it's "xyz" that appears in a smaller font, since it is typeset just
like subscripts; if you really want "xyz" to appear in normal size
type

\underbrace{something}_{\textstyle xyz}

The final result seems questionable.
