For a star roughly 3 times the size of our own or smaller, the black hole will be anywhere from a few kilometres in size to the size of a point. The part of the black hole which is not visible(the event horizon will be much bigger) It doesn't represent the actual size of the black hole, only it's mass. For stars bigger than 3 time the size of our sun, they will begin to collapse. But they will always continue to collapse. The force of gravity created by it's own weight will prevail over any resistive force or pressure. This type of blackhole will shrink to something smaller than the planck length(smaller than any particle known). Then there's a special case. If the star is spinning, it will spin faster as the star's radius diminishes. As it gets smaller and smaller, it will spin faster and faster, possibly creating a black "ring", or black "donut". These types of black holes can radiate massives amounts of radiation and even permit someone to pass through the center unharmed(assuming the ring is big enough and your ship is SOLID).
