Generally, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes just by reviewing a spec sheet. The image underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the K-3 II and K110D.

Clearly, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Pentax K-3 II to offer you greater detail with its extra 18MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The newer K-3 II is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
