Answer:

Cl- is has the larger ionic radius

Explanation:

When all atoms/ions are in the same noble gas configuration, then you would just compare the ratio of protons to electrons. Whichever has the highest proton/electron ratio would have the smallest nucleus. Therefore Ca2+ has the smallest nucleus while Cl- has the largest nucleus
