How they differ

Hungary is larger, but Portugal has the larger population: 10.3 million against 9.6 million, 1.08× as many people.
Per square kilometre that is 113 in Portugal against 103 in Hungary: Portugal is 1.10× as densely populated.
Their centres are about 2,400 km apart.
A standard web map misstates the comparison: Hungary at 47°N is drawn about 2.2× too large and Portugal at 40°N about 1.7×, so the map shows Hungary as 1.31× the size of Portugal instead of 1.02×.
Together Hungary and Portugal cover 185,000 km², close to the size of Syria (186,000 km², 0.7% bigger).
The gap between them, 1,810 km², is about the size of Comoros (1,670 km²).
At Portugal's density, Hungary would have 10.6 million people (it has 9.6 million). At Hungary's density, Portugal would have 9.4 million (it has 10.3 million).
Hungary's centre is 7.6° of latitude, about 840 km, farther north than Portugal'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.
