"Size" is kind of a nebulous concept when talking about subatomic particles. Due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, electrons are more "delocalized" than the much more massive neutrons and protons, so let's just say that electrons are "bigger" and leave it a little vague what exactly we mean by that.

In terms of mass, protons and neutrons are approximately the same mass (neutrons are very slightly heavier), and both about 1840 times more massive than electrons.

How can you compare the masses of twop boxes without weighing them?

You can compare the masses of two boxes by directly observing and feeling them, comparing their sizes and densities, and by handling them to get a rough estimate of which one is heavier. Alternatively, you can make use of the known properties or components of the boxes (like material type, dimensions, or contents) to infer their relative weights.
