I'm going to give some fictitious values just so that we can get some perspective on the matter.
Let's say that the surface temperature of our sun is 10, the surface temp of the bigger star- the red giant formed from leaving the main sequence, has a temp of 0.2. of that- 2.
We can also say that the radius of our sun is 10, and the radius of the red giant is 1000. (100 times more)
Using the equation:
L

But we can ignore the constant, as we are only interested in a ratio of these values.

So the newly formed, red giant star is almost 16 times more luminous than the sun. This is owing to the increased surface area of the star due to the massively increased radius.
A small sidenote:
There is an equation that might be useful for comparing the radii, temperature and luminosity of main sequence stars. As red giants are not on the main sequence it could not be used here, but if you stumble across a question where they ask you to find the radius, luminosity or temperature given the other two, you can relate it to the sun's characteristics:

(I know, it's not a beauty to look at- but it works)
Where
X
s

n
is the radius, temperature, and luminosity of the sun. These are not often given in numerical values, but this equation serves well when asked to find e.g the radius of a star, in solar radii given that a star is twice as luminous and has 5 times the temperature of that of the sun.
Hence:

(divide both sides by 0.0057)

So the star's radius is almost 17.5 times that of the sun.
Hopefully, you find this info useful!
