A 16d (16 penny) nail is larger. The larger the "penny" the larger the nail. But the lengths can vary, but generally an 8d is 2.5" and an 16d is 3 - 3.5".

Which screw is equal to a 16 penny nail?

You cannot use a screw to replace a 16 penny nail, as it will not have near enough shear strength. You can easily see this in action by driving a nail halfway into a board, and likewise sinking a screw halfway down. Now hit them both with a hammer perpendicular to their direction of attachment. However, if your application is not structural you will want a 3.5" screw "coarse thread" or about 8 gauge...(coarse thread will look similar to a sheetrock screw thread)
