Often, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by researching specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 100D and Q10.

All in all, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 100D due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 100D will provide you with greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger 100D will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
