Problem with /var/cache/apt/archives/

["Stephen P. Molnar" <s.molnar@sbcglobal.net>]

I am running Bookworm on my Debian computer. When I installed the OS I 
selected the option for separate /var etc, and selected the default 
sizes of the partitions.

When I ran sudo apt update this morning I received the error message:

E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/

Can I increase the size of the /var partition on the ssd without having 
to reinstall the system?

Thanks in advance.
