Well, that depends on a number of things: e.g.,
whether you wish to test a hypothesis, or produce a confidence interval;
whether differences in the means are relevant;
what distributional assumptions you are willing to make;
how many experimental groups there are;
what design structure they embody.
Useful advice may require some detailed information about the
situation you intend to address, and why you want to compare variances.
(Rather than, say, conduct an analysis of variance, which in fact
compares means.)
