Default Best resolution in DosBox

I am trying to get my game to run as high a resolution as possible.

I am playing Wolf3d thru DosBox. I know it was made for screens with a resolution of 320x240 pixels.

Is this the best resolution possible?

The old Wolfenstein 3D DOS game doesn't use 3D hardware acceleration such as
Voodoo. If I'm not mistaken, the term is pseudo 3D. i.e. raster drawing
which is designed to show objects in 3D perspective. So, it still uses
320x240 screen, and the quality will still be the same - regardless of which
DosBox window size you use, as long as it's not smaller than 320x240.
