The ratio of their sizes will be equal to 1015.
Atomic size or radii is defined as the distance between nucleus and valence shell of an atom.
Ratio of radii of hydrogen and its nucleus,  rHrn=105
Volume of sphere =43πr3
Therefore, volume of hydrogen atom =43πrH3
Volume of nucleus of hydrogen =43 πrn3
Thus, ratio of volumes =43 πrH343πrn3 = (rHrn )
= (105)3
= 1015
 Therefore, the ratio of their sizes will be 1015.
