min width and min height all that will work for elements ,they will change size according to screen but i don't think anything works for text except overflow thing

Oh Boi! Try setting padding in the container that has the text, along with setting an overflow property. I also suggest trying this in inspect to see the result and then applying what works to your code. You can use a media query to reduce the font size for this as well, and then use another media query to set it back once there is enough room for the text to exist.
