Assuming identical preparation, spices and other ingredients (i.e. both curries are essentially identical, with the exception that one has chicken and the other has prawns).
Assume the same beverage accompaniment

NO
The spicyness is down to the spices added, not the other ingredients

The spices used for prawn curry should not be the same as that for chicken curry. See, meat curry requires a certain spice and prawn curry another, so as to compliment the flesh. I think prawn curry ingredients are closer to that of fish curry's.
However, to answer your question, I think prawn curry would be hotter. Why? because chicken is in huge chunks, that retain the flavorful chicken taste unmarred by the curry, while prawn, even at it's biggest is meagre. Prawn meat also has a watery texture, ad it actually adds to the hotness of the curry instead of retracting from it.
Also, what usually makes seafood (fish, prawn) curry hotter is because you add more onions to it (to counteract the fishiness).

Its actually down to the Spices used. If this Prawn Curry however was up against a Chicken Korma, then the Prawn Curry would be hotter.

Should be the same. Now, curry paste is more intense than powdered, but what it's served on shouldn't matter.

No,the heat is in proportion to the curry powder.

It would depend on how hot & how much curry you would use.
