Before going right into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the M6 MII matches up vs the RP for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M6 Mark II & Canon EOS RP. The complete galleries are available at Canon M6 MII Gallery & Canon RP Gallery.

In many cases, it can be tough to see the contrast in sensor dimensions just by going through a spec sheet. The picture below might offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M6 MII and RP.

Clearly, both of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The M6 MII due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Canon M6 MII will provide more detail as a result of its extra 7 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The more recent M6 MII will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
