I replaced a 750GB drive with a 1TB. I copied the old partitions over with dd. The problem is that the partitions didn't make use of the extra space. So, I needed to grow them. There is nothing special about the luks it seems. You just need to decrypt the drive and then proceed as if it was a regular file system. I performed the following steps with it unmounted. You can do it mounted. I just chose not to.
Grow the partition size.
localhost ~ # parted /dev/sdb GNU Parted 3.2 Using /dev/sdb Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) resizepart 1 End? [750GB]? 1000GB
Grow the filesystem
localhost ~ # resize2fs /dev/sdb1 resize2fs 1.43.1 (08-Jun-2016) resize2fs: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sdb1 Couldnt find valid filesystem superblock.
woops, I specified the wrong device name. I need to use the dev mapper name...
localhost ~ # resize2fs /dev/mapper/vol1 resize2fs 1.43.1 (08-Jun-2016) Please run 'e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/vol1' first.
whatever you say sir

Done!
