The mean absolute luminosities and diameters of galaxies in double and triple configurations are compared with the same characteristics for single galaxies. Members of optical pairs and triplets are used as the sample of single galaxies. The mean luminosities of galaxies in physical pairs and triplets are found to be the same as for single galaxies. At the same absolute luminosity, single galaxies have larger diameters compared to galaxies in pairs and triplets.
