That will depend on the UPS specifications (e.g. output VA rating, efficiency) as well as the load's reactance.

There are UPSs with output VA ratings from as low as 100 VA to several hundreds of thousands of VA (this is more than 3 orders of magnitude in equivalent wattage). The higher VA rated UPSs must by the electrical code be wired directly (they cannot be plugged in and they weigh several tons so they can't be moved either) by a licenced electrician.

The more efficient a UPS is, the closer the input watts needed will be to the output VA rating, a less efficient UPS will need more watts.

The only way you can get a reasonable estimate of the answer to this question is to read the specifications in the manual for the specific UPS you are interested in or are already using.

What size of a ups would you need to handle 20 watts?

UPS batteries are typically rated at how many ampere hrs they can supply. IF your 20 Watt device is supplied by 120V then it draws 1/6 amps. (Watts = Amps * Volts for a resistive load). If your UPS were rated for 1 A Hr you could power your device for 6 hours.

How do you determine Uninterrupted Power Supply size?

The load size in watts is what determines the size of UPS needed. Add up all of the load wattages that you would like to have an uninterrupted power supply. Some UPS units are rated in VA output, for the purposes of this calculation VA is the same as watts. There are many UPS calculators on line if you need any help deciding what to connect to it. Remember the larger the UPS the more the cost is going to be. Read the discuss page for calculator.
