Tech II Shield Resist Amplifiers grants 37.5% resist bonus.
Specific Shield Resist Compensation grants an increase of 25% to the module's resist bonus.
Thus, 37.5 x 1.25 = 46.875% resist on the Shield Resist Amplifier. 
A specific tech 2 shield resist hardener grants 55% to one resist. So, no. Your tech 2 passive shield resist amplifier will not be better than a tech 2 active shield resist hardener.
Hope that helps.

Using 2 modules of the same resist types will yield you a penlty to the effectiveness to your second module.
E.g Assuming you are in a Drake, with Battlecruiser V as well as EM Shield Compensation V.
EM resist base = 0%
With BC V bonus = (100 - 0) * 0.25 + 0 = 25% EM resist
Using a Tech II EM Shield Amp: 37.5% x 1.25 = 46.875%
[(100 - current_resist) * (resist_bonus * stacking_penalty)] + current_resist = new_resist
(100 - 25) * 0.46875 + 25 = 60.15625% EM resist
But, upon using a second (same) module, you incur a penalty on the effectiveness of the shield amplifier. Thus;
[(100 - 60.15625) * (0.46875 * 0.8691199806)] + 60.15625 = 76.3885933876708984375% EM resist.
*The underlined value is the stacking penalty.
But take into account that ship's inherent bonuses as well as Damage Control Unit's bonuses are not affected by the stacking penalty. Though, an active shield hardener and a passive shield resist amplifier will still incur penalty to the latter one with lesser bonus.
Hope that is clear. 
P.s. [Edit] The Armor/Shield Resist Compensation skills only applies to passive resist modules and active resist modules when they are inactive.

Alright, you see, the Caldari Tier 2 Battlecruiser, Drake.
Starts with the base shield resists of EM/Exp/Kin/Therm 0/60/40/20%.
Thus, I took the EM resist as an example in the calculations.
P.s. I know you are using a CNR, I'm just using a Drake for comparison's sake. As well as I am using one, and I'm loving it.
