In case you are python 3.x, f-strings are your best friends: 

path = f'//div[@data-option-value-id="{size_id}"]'
driver.find_element_by_xpath(path).click()

Your mistake was that you didn't enclose the size_id into ".

path = '//div[@data-option-value-id="' + size_id + '"]' could work too.

You were close just confuse the quotation.Try below code.

size_id = "739"
path = "//div[@data-option-value-id='" + size_id + "']"

driver.find_element_by_xpath(path).click()

Or you can use format function which is much easier.

size_id = "739"
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@data-option-value-id='{}']".format(size_id)).click()
