Both Panasonic GH5 and Panasonic GH5 II have Four Thirds sized 20.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Panasonic GH5 II and Panasonic GH5 sensors lack anti-alias (Low-Pass) filters. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moire occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the GH5 and GH5 II sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Panasonic GH5 and Panasonic GH5 II Cameras
Panasonic GH5 and Panasonic GH5 II have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with 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. Panasonic GH5 and Panasonic GH5 II sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that GH5 II has a better overall score of 79, 2 points higher compared to GH5's score of 77.
