As you can plainly see, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 77D using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon 77D will result in extra detail with its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images more aggressively. The older 77D will be behind in sensor innovation.
