    Not that I am a expert, but with cache plug in (like W3TC) and backup of 512MB swap, 1GB plan should be good enough..

    If not, just increase :) with a simple reboot.. Fun of Cloud VPS..

    Start with lowest and increase if you need more..

    By the way, do you plan to use any Control Panel or you want to go without any ??

There are a lot of factors that determine how well your sites will perform, but the $10 plan should definitely be able to handle that kind of traffic. Of course, you'll want to do some monitoring and testing at first. With WordPress, a lot of performance issues stem from plugins. So if you're seeing problems, that would be the first place to look.

In general, you can get a lot more out of your VPS if you set up some caching. You might also consider using Nginx as your webserver rather than Apache. Check out some of the tutorials on the site to get started. These ones might be of interest:

How To Install Wordpress, Nginx, PHP, and Varnish on Ubuntu 12.04
by Etel Sverdlov
Varnish is an HTTP accelerator and a useful tool for speeding up a server, especially during a times when there is high traffic to a site. It works by redirecting visitors to static pages whenever possible and only drawing on the server itself if there is a need for an active process. This tutorial covers installing wordpress on a LEMP stack (with nginx instead of apache), and then installing varnish.
