More often than not, it is difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by going through specifications. The pic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M50 and RP.

To sum up, both the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The M50 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Canon RP will show more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged M50 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
