In the background, JabRef uses [JavaFX](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaFX). Applications using JavaFX can be scaled via `java -Dglass.gtk.uiScale=1.5 -jar <application>.jar`. If you have installed JabRef via a package manager, you probably don't have a `.jar` file but a binary file. In this case, you need to find your `JabRef.cfg` in your installation folder (possibly located at `/opt/JabRef/lib/app/JabRef.cfg`) and add in the section `[JavaOptions]` the line `-Dglass.gtk.uiScale=1.5`. Then, restart JabRef. Try finding a value that is suitable for you. On high resolution displays, values around `1.5` seem to be reasonable.
