That depends on the certificates. For a session with both server and client
certificate I experience values around 1.0-1.5kbytes.

The client proposes the ID of a session to be reused. The server then checks,
whether the session is available and can reuse it.
If the particular session is not available or the server does not want to
reuse it for any reason, a new session is negotiated.
