How to upscale video resolution on QMEU virtual machines?

I am trying to run some KVM QEMU virtual machines. However, I am running on a machine with fairly limited resources and a 4K screen. Therefore, I would like to run the virtual machines at lower resolutions 480-1080p and then upscale the result so it isn’t stupidly tiny. Is this possible and if so how can I do it?

P.S. I have tried running display scaling of 2x. However, for some reason I’m having difficulty getting it to work on some VM’s and as I don’t have GPU passthrough set up it will be more efficient to do the upscaling on the host machine than in the VM anyway.
