Cute! I’ve seen a wild Phidippus juvenile once.

I am just curious, but when do you think my jumping spider (which is in first instar) will molt?

For First instar (assuming you mean first instar out of the nest) they usually have molts faster. I don’t know exactly how fast they molt, maybe within a month?

Just curious OP, how did you decide it was regius and not phiddipus (edit: meant audax)?

Phidippus is the genus. Regius is the species.

LOL I know that, sorry, that was mistype on my part. I meant regius and not audax* sorry to seem like a dunce

If you feed them well they can molt within days of emerging from the sac.
