There's a setting for this in the main VirtualBox settings. There's a thread started on 17 July 2015 with the subject SOLVED - Automatic resizing of Screen resolution that gives a full description in the last post.

Sorry I can't give you a link, but I only just joined so that I could post this message and the system doesn't trust me yet. :)
