Depends
single-colour transparency should use about exactly the same size as it just takes one colour as transparent. Full alpha channel transparency on the other hand should rather result in larger file size since it also needs to store an alpha value for each pixel instead of just marking one number.
Using transparency shouldn't make files smaller, though, that'd be weird
