Clearly, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Olympus TG-310 to show more detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The older 6020 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
