AFAIK there is no direct way.

The only idea which comes into my mind is to examine the contents (e.g. 
filesystem) metadata of the partition. If the size recorded in the 
metadata does not match the size of the partition, it may have been 
resized. Even if the contents has been resized too, some metadata may 
not have been updated to reflect the new size. For instance, the number 
of inodes in an ext2/3/4 filesystem is fixed at the creation and does 
not change when the filesystem is resized. So, assuming the filesystem 
was created with the default values you can compare the output of e2mkfs 
in simulation mode and the output of tune2fs -l.
