What fits

Jordan is 95% of the size of Hungary.
Hungary is larger by 4,340 km² (1,670 mi²), which is 4.9% of the area of Jordan.
Measured in Belgiums: Hungary is about 3.04, Jordan about 2.90.

How they differ

Hungary is larger, but Jordan has the larger population: 10.4 million against 9.6 million, 1.09× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 117 in Jordan against 103 in Hungary: Jordan is 1.14× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 2,310 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Hungary at 47°N is drawn about 2.2× too large and Jordan at 31°N about 1.4×, so the map shows Hungary as 1.66× the size of Jordan instead of 1.05×.
Together Hungary and Jordan cover 182,000 km², close to the size of Cambodia (181,000 km², 0.6% smaller).
The gap between them, 4,340 km², is about the size of Cape Verde (3,930 km²).
At Jordan's density, Hungary would have 10.9 million people (it has 9.6 million). At Hungary's density, Jordan would have 9.2 million (it has 10.4 million).
Hungary's centre is 15.9° of latitude, about 1,770 km, farther north than Jordan's.

Sources and method

Outlines: Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, public domain
Boundary: De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. Main territory: the largest landmass and every part within 1,000 km of it.
Area: Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded. Comparisons use main-territory area.
Drawing: Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
