Generally, it is very difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by viewing specifications. The photograph underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the E-PL9 and ZV-E10.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-PL9 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh harder and the Sony ZV-E10 will provide you with greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The older E-PL9 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
