How to simulate standard deviation

I would like to simulate data based on real data captured. The real data captured is 15 observations. The simulation based on the existing data is 100 observations. I have a mean and standard deviation for the 15 observations, however how do I simulate standard deviation for a larger sample (100 observations) based on the smaller real data? Standard deviation should generally decrease with an increase in sample size, but at what rate?
