The <prefix> :resize-p -D 4 command means to press your prefix (e.g. Ctrl+b)) then press : to enter the command line for the rest of the command.

(e.g. resize-p -D 4). The -D flag indicates down. The other options are -U for up, -L for left, and -R for right. The "4" in the example is the amount that can be changed to your desired setting.
