ps -eo pid,vsz,args | grep <pid>
This would give you the entire space occupied by the process
But there are two things you need to notice here.
1) Solaris memory works under Virtual Memory - which is RAM + Swap. Until and unless you really get into each and every file used by the program its really hard to find which is placed in RAM and which one in swap
2) As the above post says, some dynamic files are used by multiple processes. So if you go on adding all the files used by a process for all the processes, it will end up more than ur RAM + Swap
pmap <pid> will tell you all the files used by the process along with their addresses and space occupied. If you really want to dig inside the process, i suggest you use pmap to calculate
Thanks

vzcalc
vzcalc(8) Containers vzcalc(8)
NAME
vzcalc - calculate resource usage of a container
SYNOPSIS
vzcalc [-v] CTID
DESCRIPTION
This utility displays the share of the host system resources a particular container is using. If the container is running, the current
usage is displayed. High utilization values (>100%) mean the system is overloaded (or the container has an invalid configuration).
Current
Shows the amount of the resources consumed by the container at a given time.
Promised
Shows the resources soft limit values "promised" for a given container.
Max Shows the resources hard limit values "promised" for a given container.
If the -v option is specified, the following additional information is also displayed:
Low Mem
The part of memory residing at lower addresses and directly accessed by the kernel (only makes sense for 32-bit architectures).
Total RAM
Total memory.
Mem+Swap
Amount of memory available for applications (both RAM and swap space).
Alloc Mem
Standard memory allocations made for applications in a container. This is a more "virtual" system resource than RAM or RAM and
swap.
Num. Proc
Number of processes.
OPTIONS
-v Display additional information.
EXIT STATUS
Normally, the exit status is 0. On error, the exit status is 1.
