Only if you pump the same amount of light into a smaller screen, making it brighter. Or, I suppose, if you backlight the bezel instead of just the screen. But neither of those seem particularly likely; even if the maximum backlight power is maintained, the adaptive brightness would leave it turned down farther except in conditions calling for full brightness.
