Generally, it is tough to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions just by reading technical specs. The image here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the D30 and K-3 II.

As you can tell, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You should anticipate the Pentax K-3 II to deliver extra detail with its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged D30 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
