Let awk's exit status reflect whether the condition is met or
not:

if
ls -dLl "/${FILE}" | awk '
{
if ($5 < 1.5 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024) {
print $9,"Less than 1.5 Gbytes",$5 ;
exit(0)
} else {
print $9,"GREATER than 1.5 Gbytes - ",$5
exit(1)
}
}' > result.txt
then
action if less than 1.5 GB
else
action if at least 1.5 GB
fi
