Sometimes, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading technical specs. The pic below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M10 and WX350.
As you have seen, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The E-M10 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Sony WX350 will deliver more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively.
