The size of caps is approximatly proportional to their energy capacity for
the same type of cap.

So as a comparision, your cap is 225J the other cap is 112.5J.
So it would be appoxematly half the size of yours.
That assumes yours is a rated at 30kVpk AC -at- 5kHz.

Actually I think your cap is large for its rating. Is it a high rep pulse
cap?
I have a 1.5cu ft 27uf 5kV ie 337J but its low rep low peak current.
