If you updated your page to serve the new image in the new resolution correctly, there's absolutely no problem in placing the new file on the server with the same name.

That's what I would do, and I have done in the past, when I "touched up" some pictures. I didn't lose any rank whatsoever, and I tried this first with one picture in special that ranks #1 for it's keyword in google images. And it still does.

The only reason to redirect 301 in this case, in my opinion, is if you think you can increase the exposure of the photo by renaming it in a way that may be more visible to search engines.
