Growth of smallest closed geodesic in congruence subgroups?

Let $\Gamma$ be one of the classical congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$, $\Gamma_1(N)$ and $\Gamma(N)$ of $SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$.

How does the lower bound for the length of primitive geodesics on $\Gamma \backslash \mathbb{H}$ depending on $\Gamma$ grow?

Any suggestions? Please also provide either a reference or a short argument.
