It depends what utility club it is. If it is an 18 degree one, then not very much. You will find that most 5 woods are between 18 and 20 degrees of loft, with hybrids usually coming in lofts 18 to as much as 24 degrees.
The heads of hybrids are a lot shorter than 5 woods, and they have quite a compact shape, where as the 5 wood has a large circular head. Hybrids/ utilities are a blend of irons and woods, that is how they achieve their shape.
You will find that a hybrid/ utility is a lot easier to hit than a fairway wood because the shaft is slightly shorter, this gives you a better angle of attack and therefore more control.
