Well that depends on what you mean by "measure."

Your image is 200 pixels (px) by 200px.
At a screen resolution of 800px x 600px, your image will be 200px x 200 px.
On a 17" monitor, that image will be about 3.2" x 3.2".

At a screen resolution of 1024px x 768px, your image will be 200px x 200px.
On a 17" monitor, that image will now be about 2.5" x 2.5". So it will be
smaller (in inches), but the same size (in pixels).
