Here is how I approached this issue using Zerb Foundation 3 responsive web framework, Javascript, jQuery and Processing.js. You can take a look at Living Map Project if you want to dig through the source.

in javascript / jquery:

// handle page resizing
$(window).resize(function() {
var pjs = Processing.getInstanceById('livingmap');
pjs.resizeSketch(document.getElementById('div_p5canvas').offsetWidth,  document.getElementById('div_p5canvas').offsetHeight);
} );

in your .pde processing js code (note: the calculation was what I felt worked well using zurb's foundation 3, the grid I defined and how that translated as pixels:

void resizeSketch(int w, int h) {
  if (w < 680) {
    size(w, floor(float(w)/680*610) - 30);
    } else size(680, 610 - 30);
}
