There are the same amount.
Comparing is a bit tricky when there are infinite numbers or both even and odd numbers, but think of it this way: Pair each odd number with the even number right above it (1 & 2, 3 & 4, etc.). Every odd number is paired with one even number, and every even is paired with one odd number. This shows that they have the same amount.
