I'm working on modifying the Deedy CV template (link here). I would like to change the size of the section titles. Does anyone know how I can do that?

Add the following just before \begin{document}
\newcommand{\photo}[1]{% Create a new command for printing photo
\begin{textblock}{25}(75,4) % The position of the Last Updated text on the page (75% of the page across, 4% down)
\centering
\fboxsep1.5pt\fcolorbox{blue}{white}%
{\includegraphics[width=1.5cm,height=2.5cm,keepaspectratio]{#1}}
\end{textblock}}
And just after \lastupdated add this
\photo{photo}
where photo is the file name of your photo.
Adjust 75 and 4 in \begin{textblock}{25}(75,4) as you like.
Full code from the templates if you need.

The res class provides \namefont which you can redefine to suit your needs. Default is \large\bfseries:
\documentclass[margin,line]{res}
\renewcommand{\namefont}{\bfseries\LARGE}
\begin{document}
\name{A Person}
\opening
\end{document}
I'd avoid using the res class, and settle for something more recent, like moderncv, or create your resume manually.
