Motivated by the renormalization group (RG) approach to $c=0$ matrix model of Bre\'zin and Zinn-Justin, we develop a RG scheme for $c=1$ matrix model on a circle and analyze how the two coupling constants in double scaling limit with critical exponent flow with the change in length scale. The RG flow equations produce a non-trivial fixed point with the correct string susceptibility exponent and the expected logarithmic scaling violation of the $c=1$ theory. The change of world-sheet free energy with length scale indicates a sign change as we increase the temperature, indicating a phase transition due to liberation of the non-singlet states. At low temperature, the RG analysis also lead to T-duality of the singlet sector free energy. The RG flow to the $c=1$ fixed point can be understood as the decay of unstable $D0$-branes with open string rolling tachyon to the 2D closed string theory described by the end point of the flow. The amplitude of the decay is extracted from the change of the world-sheet free energy described by the RG process and is in accordance with the prediction from boundary Liouville theory.
