Put either http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GParted or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parted_Magic to your iso storage, boot the vm from the disk and resize the partitions inside the virtual disk.

is there no way without an iso file.
or a way doing it automatic ?

Assuming you talk about resizing a (linux) VM disk image, the system inside the VM usually can not be resized online in place (this depends on if you use plain partition table or lvm, still a demanding task). The tools above have a mode to simply stretch all partitons evenly to the bigger disk, but this is not always what you want.
And proxmox cant do this for you since it knows nothing about what runs in the vm container.
