You should use GridBag Layout. Then open the layout editing (right click the layout) and give all text areas a width of 1.0 and fill of "both".

Is your problem that only the one textField changes is width?? If yes you can use a GroupLayout like this:

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setContentPane(contentPane);

JTextField textField = new JTextField();
textField.setColumns(10);

JTextField textField_1 = new JTextField();
textField_1.setColumns(10);
GroupLayout gl_contentPane = new GroupLayout(contentPane);
gl_contentPane.setHorizontalGroup(
        gl_contentPane.createParallelGroup(Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGroup(gl_contentPane.createSequentialGroup()
                .addComponent(textField, GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 199, Short.MAX_VALUE)
                .addPreferredGap(ComponentPlacement.UNRELATED)
                .addComponent(textField_1, GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 215, Short.MAX_VALUE))
    );
gl_contentPane.setVerticalGroup(
        gl_contentPane.createParallelGroup(Alignment.LEADING)
            .addGroup(gl_contentPane.createSequentialGroup()
                .addContainerGap()
                .addGroup(gl_contentPane.createParallelGroup(Alignment.TRAILING, false)
                    .addComponent(textField_1, Alignment.LEADING)
                    .addComponent(textField, Alignment.LEADING, GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 82, Short.MAX_VALUE))
                .addContainerGap(159, Short.MAX_VALUE))
    );
contentPane.setLayout(gl_contentPane);
