Why would you replace the pulley to a smaller one? Which belt? Is it 180 deg. contact or an idler pulley with less? This sounds like a homework problem to me.

Try measuring it. Measure from the outside of each pulley and around, then multiply by 2. This would be your belt length. Or use a rope to measure the entire path.
