TL;DR Summary
capacitor capacitance
I don't know if the capacitance of a capacitor is large, the capacitor will discharge with greater intensity than other capacitors with the same voltage but smaller capacitance, right? Thanks

Intensity is not a meaningful term.

Assuming the same initial voltage, a large capacitor will take longer to discharge than a small capacitor, with the same resistance load. The initial current will be the same, but there is more charge in the bigger capacitor. C = Q / V.
