Hi,
Welcome to JavaRanch!
Sorry to tell you this, but it's entirely dependent on the JVM implementation.

Generally, you should not care about the actual size, in memory, of a boolean. It has two usable values, true and false, but may take up more memory than is strictly required for that, depending on performance and alignment issues on the platform. But, as you can't do bit-wise operations on it anyway, you don't care.
