Apollo (as a good baseline)
Orion
Dragon
Dragon V2
CST-100
Soyuz
For bonus points, ISS cargo vehicles.

Found a couple of good photos of at least three of the vehicles side by side.
CST-100 - Orion - Dragon
Graphic of Apollo - Orion - CST-100 - Dragon
A great picture from User3, who found it on reddit, showing the various vehicles all side by side to scale.
Another good one, doing a better job of showing manned vs reentry vs service modules parts.
Great summary of the various vehicles with sizes and internal volumes:

Not to forget the Indian Orbital Vehicle, here it is laid out next to some other vehicles.
Then for the granddaddy of them all, how much of the shuttle is really crew space. (Really just a portion of the nose)>
A good infographic from Space.com has this image:
That shows the relative sizes of Progress, Soyuz, ATV, and HTV at the bottom, overlain on a space shuttle.
This great Space.com infographic includes Dragon, Progress, Shenzou, ATV, and Orion:
Here's one more comparison of relative sizes of manned vehicles. https://i.stack.imgur.com/3ad7C.jpg
