Yes, there are various options:

1) General settings, section 'Playlist Settings' - Layout: 'Use Big Font' and/or 'Upper Case Tracks' and/or 'Info Panel Size Big'.
When/If you are using UAC you can set this also on a per User basis: right-click on the user icon at the top right of the main window and select 'Change User Settings'.
In the upcoming dialog you will also find the above options: 'Use Big Font', 'Upper Case Tracks', 'Info Panel Size Big'.

2) Use High-DPI settings:
Microsoft Windows itself as well as its applications (e.g. the Windows Explorer etc.) typically use standard font sizes (like ProppFrexx is doing; except the ones effected above; mainly the playlist window). With ever growing screen-resolutions (higher pixel density) those standard sizes become smaller. Therefore have been High-DPI settings introduced by Microsoft Windows.
To increase the size appearance of applications you can change your DPI scaling.
1. In Control Panel, click 'Appearance And Personalization'
2. Under the Display heading, click 'Make Text And Other Items Larger Or Smaller'
3. The default scaling options allow you to choose a 100-percent scale (the default), a 125-percent scale, or a 150-percent scale. E.g. select 125%!
4. You need to log off the windows user and then log on the user again for the changes to take effect

3) Get yourself a bigger monitor but use the same resolution.
Sounds like a bad advice, but also helps. Using a 27"inch monitor at 1920x1080 makes appear everything bigger than using a 24"inch monitor at 1920x1080.

I would suggest you try the options from top to bottom to see what fits your needs.
