resolution change for new format

I have created an animation using a combination of photoshop work, and 3d animation clips AE effects and AE text. This content was originally created at a set spec size approximately half the size of the new use. Recently there has been a request to use it full screen for presentation displayed at 1360x768. The concern is that the image shows pixelation when blown up that large. This doesn't surprise me.
Here is the question: Is there anything that I can do with my AE file such as nest it in a large comp size, or output it at the higher resolution, that might soften or eliminate some of the pixelation? Since the text is AE native will it at least sharpen up? I realize there is no substitute for having created the footage specifically for use at the appropriate size, but I had no idea that this was going to happen. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, I can't think of a way to do it, especially with such a drastic change in scale. The rule of thumb in AE has always been, "You can make things smaller very easily, but it's a lot tougher to make them bigger."
But what really intrigues me is the size. What sort of gizmo plays 1360x768 video?

Hi,
I am back with this weird request. I managed to re-render things larger in photoshop 3d etc.. and recompile the whole thing at the size they wanted.
Now they are asking for another one with similar specs. I have gathered that they are showing this on a 32 inch LCD display. From what I can tell the final video will be played using a computer with Quicktime I assume. I will get more details. They want it to fill the screen. They are saying that if they simply have it display full screen in quicktime things look pixelated. Any help trying to come to a sensible decision on what size to actually create the comp would help.
