same capacity with more cylinders means
smaller, lighter pistons.
shorter stroke
more drag - due to more pistons and longer crank increased number of bearing etc.
This usually results in higher rpm limits and hp due to the lighter individual internals, smoother running and continual power strokes from each cylinder.
An engine with less cylinders tends to be more torqier but less hp
