Is your background white? If so, instead of going resize image, choose resize canvas. Then arrange as you like.

If your background is not white, then I don't think its possible because the background will be stretched. Maybe that's ok then.

umm my background i made it and its not white can I still resize it?

You can resize it but it will be stretched. If thats OK, then go to resize canvas and choose the dimensions you want. Then click your background layer(s -merge them if more than one) and use free transform to stretch them, too. I have a hard time believing this is what you want to do though because this would stretch the background. Maybe post an image of what it looks like now?
