From the voltages you have given the current flowing through the 5 watt 220 ohm resistor you connected is approx 30 ma, this would give a power dissipation of approx .2 watts (200 mw)

The current flowing through 15 watt 150 ohm resistor is approx 36 ma, this would give a power dissipation in the resistor of approx .2 watts (200 mw)

Neither of these currents would cause the resistors to get hot.
