Visualforce - Field label font size

Hello all,
I was wondering if someone could help me with controlling the font size of field labels in visualforce. Please see the below example of a picklist field I have in Visualforce, I'd like to increase the font size of the label. In my example below, I would be interested in increasing the font size of the label:

"1. How important was it to choose a vendor that could take your product through development to commercialization?"

Any help/direction is greatly appreciated, thank you!:

<apex:selectList value="{!Customer_Survey__c.Question_1__c}" multiselect="false" size="1"
                label="1.  How important was it to choose a vendor that could take your product through development to commercialization?">
         <apex:selectOption itemValue="--Select Option--" itemLabel="--Select Option--"/>
         <apex:selectOption itemValue="Not at all" itemLabel="1-Not at all"/>
         <apex:selectOption itemValue="Somewhat" itemLabel="2-Somewhat"/>
         <apex:selectOption itemValue="Average" itemLabel="3-Average"/>
         <apex:selectOption itemValue="High" itemLabel="4-High"/>
         <apex:selectOption itemValue="Critical" itemLabel="5-Critical"/>
         <apex:selectOption itemValue="N/A" itemLabel="Not Applicable"/>
      </apex:selectList>

You can use inline or external style sheet here Like in your visualforce tag style="font-size: 30px;" include then  youe font size become large.

Hi Ravikant,

Thank you for the response -
Would you mind showing me where i would place "font-size: 30px;" within the code example I posted? The objective is to make the label of the picklist larger, not the selectable options, thanks!

If it not solve your problem then use:
< apex:outputlabel value="How important was it to choose a vendor that could take your product through development to commercialization?"  style="font-size: 30px;">  and then your selectlist like:

<apex:selectList value="{!Customer_Survey__c.Question_1__c}" multiselect="false" size="1" >

Kavikant,

Thank you very much for your help, I believe I'm getting somewhere. A problem now seems to be that my selectable options are no longer uniform now that I've made the update to the code.

In the example below I've updated 2 of the questions in my survey with the suggestion you provided above. I left the other questions alone for comparison. Is there a way to still ensure the selectable option values line up the same?

Result:

See my code below - I'm providing the modified version based on Kavikant's suggestion, along with examples of unmodified fields:

<apex:pageBlockSection title="Questions" columns="2">
