You should use Content Size Filter along with Horizontal Layout Group. For this follows the following steps:

  • Add Canvas → Image (Container of your text)
  • Add Text and make it child of Image
  • Add Content Size Filter and Horizontal Layout Group components to Image
  • Select preferred size in both Horizontal fit and Vertical fit fields in Content Size Filter
