A combination that depends on whether and how font-size styles and/or presentational markup are set by the page's author; and on the visitor's browser's settings for 1-default font size, 2-zoom level engaged, and/or 3-minimum font size engaged. As a practical matter, if the author sizes text in pt or px, the page is more likely to render text the size the author thinks he intends, and less likely to render at a size that bears any correlation to a size the visitor finds usable. OTOH, if the author applies only contextual sizing and leaves the main body content unstyled, the main content will appear at the lesser of the default size set in the visitor's browser (which is likely to be a size perfectly usable if not perfectly comfortable for the user), the browser's minimum size, or the browser's zoom level. -- "Respect everyone."
