How do you optimize navigation bar for resizing?

Question

I just started learning html and css about 6 days ago. I do it for a hour a day and I'm having a lot of fun with it. I try to figure most of the issue I have on my own, but I've been having troubles finding resources to fix this problem.

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather);

*
{
    text-decoration: none;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body
{
    background-color: #ff9900;
    font-family: 'Merriweather', serif;
}

#page
{
    margin: -8px;
}

#wrapper
{
    /*margin: 1px;*/
}

h2>a 
{
    margin: -25px;
    float: left;
    background-color: #ffde00;
    color: #097054;
    padding: 20px;
}

h2>a:hover 
{
    color: #ffde00;
    transition: .5s ease;
    background-color: #6599ff;
}

.container
{
    padding: 6px;
    padding-right: 50px;
    padding-left: 20px;
    text-align: center;
    background-color: #097054;
}

ul li
{
    background-color: #ffde00;
    display: inline;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 10px;
    color: #097054;
    font-weight: 900;
    font-size: 14pt;
}


ul li:hover
{
    transition: .5s ease;
    background-color: #097054;
    border-color: #25C1BC;
    color: #ffde00;

}

#p1
{
    color: #097054;
    height: 25em;
    width: 25em;
    background-color: #097054;
    margin-left: 8px;
    margin-top: 20px;
    -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-out;
    -webkit-transition-duration: 500ms;
}

p
{
    background-color: #ffde00;
    padding: 20px;
    margin-top: 8px;
    -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-out;
    -webkit-transition-duration: 500ms;
}

#p1:hover;
{
    /*background-color: #000000;*/
}

p:hover
{
    height: -75%;
    width: -75%;
    padding-bottom: 3.8em;
    box-shadow: -5px -5px 0px 0px #097054;
    margin-top: 3em;
    color: #ffde00;
    background-color: #6599ff;
    font-weight: 600;
}

Essentially what happens is that my navbar will become extremely disorganized after resizing. This causes links to overlap and look really awful.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

There's no way to solve your problem with only html/css as your li elements's width is minimum.

You should decrease the text font-size calculating it on the windows width, but this can be made only with javascript

My advice is to leave this page as before (as I imagine that is only for fun) and when you have good html/css skills you can start studying jQuery <- Very important for the UI
