Acceleration would be similar, as it's dependent on the mass of the bike and rider, not the weight. In fact, it might even be lower, as standing on the pedals wouldn't provide the same force - you'd have to pull on the bars. Which might then lead to rad wheelies rather than pulling off - I think that would depend on power, the gravity force, and weight distribution.
