Surface area of the larger filter is larger, hence with a given flow of oil at a given viscosity, there are more holes for it to flow through and hence less resistance.

A smaller filter can/will clog faster (because of fewer holes...pores) which will reduce the available (remaining unclogged) holes and increase the pressure required to find a hole for the oil to flow through and hence increase pressure drop.
