i am using the PICC compiler for the programming of my PIC 16F877. the size of the hex file as shown by WINDOWS is 30kB and during compilation it shows that 65% of the ROM is used . Which is correct and it will program my PIC as the size of the program memory is only 12kB for 877. Will this do or should i shift to 18F452.

The HEX file is an ASCII representation of the hexadecimal equivalents of the binary code, and includes things like addresses and end-of-line characters. It will be quite a bit larger than the actual binary code. The 65% figure reported by the compiler is correct.
