I don't know what you mean by "exactly", but on a 72 DPI display any given image will be exactly 4 times the size (twice as tall and twice as wide, width times height) of that exact same image on a 144 DPI display if rendered at its native pixel size. If you want to maintain a reasonable relationship between an image and its surrounding text across a sane range of resolutions, you'll need to size the image in em. -- How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver.
