Both Canon T7 and Nikon D3200 have APS-C sized 24.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the T7 and D3200 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon T7 and Nikon D3200 Cameras
Canon T7 and Nikon D3200 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Canon T7 and Nikon D3200 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that D3200 has a better overall score of 81, 10 points higher compared to T7's score of 71.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon T7
or the
Nikon D3200 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
