Total memory RAM:3557Mb and swap: 255Mb
Searching from forums,I came to know that, I need to partition the swap, so as to make swap double the size of my RAM. So, do i need to allocate 7GB for the swap ?
my next question is, how do I do the swap partition in Ubuntu 12.04.
and my final question, I too have windows in my system. will this swap repartition affect my windows in any way ?
Thank you.

As TrailRider has mentioned, the hibernation feature writes out the contents of RAM to the swap partition before turning off the machine. Therefore, your swap partition should be at least as big as your RAM size. For more information Click me
And for your second question, you should use GParted , like arhimed has mentioned, to increase the swap size to an appropriate one! This link gives a good hint on how to use this tool Click me
As for third question, I don't think that Windows7 will even detect the swap partition
Just in case, this question Click me is about activating the hibernate option which is not activated by default.
Good luck!
