You may change this by changing vm.heapSize item in the avd's config.ini. For example, you may write

vm.heapSize=64

in config.ini. If there is no such item, you may add a new one.

However, please notice that vm.heapSize may be overridden by the skin. There is a hardware.ini in the skin's path, and it contains default settings of vm.heapSize and hw.ramSize which may override your value. To workaround this problem, you may set

skin.path=720x1280
skin.name=720x1280

The numbers are not important, it must be in the (width)x(height) form.
