The 700D was brought out 3 years after the K-x which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before getting in to a full comparison, below is a quick view of how the 700D scores vs the K-x in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 700D and Pentax K-x. The entire galleries are provided at Canon 700D Gallery and Pentax K-x Gallery.

Usually, it is tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by reviewing specs. The pic underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 700D and K-x.

All in all, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Canon 700D to deliver greater detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent 700D should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
