Same resolution but bigger pixel size ? Maybe, if they have the same controller. Different resolution ? Realistically, no.

Explanation: it's not HDMI + a simple display resolution setting. Replacing the LCD for a bigger one would require changing the ribbon connector and layout of the Portapack board, heavily modifying the code so the UI can take advantage of the space, and find a way to push more pixels through the same serial interface the original LCD uses.
