The default settings for displaying a URL resource are: Automatic, Embed, Open or Popup. However, there are other display options too which the site admin can select from Settings > Site Administration > Plugins > Activity Modules > URL If you don't have the option to display your URL in a new window, check this setting has been enabled.

1. Login as an admin and go to Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Activity modules > URL.
2. Change the 'Frame height' setting.
3. Click the 'Save changes' button.
