Here's my personal take:

Jaune could probably take more hits than Cap, considering that he has aura and a lot of it compared to Cap who has no aura. His shield would be his only way of defense, and Jaune is probably faster than Cap considering I believe most RWBY characters scale to be over the speed of sound when it comes to speed and Cap, albeit faster than a regular human, isn't speed of sound levels fast.

Here's the reason why I believe that Jaune scales to be over the speed of sound.

In the early episodes of RWBY (especially during the Initiation Saga), Ruby, Weiss and Blake all show incredible speed feats.

In Ep05, Ruby dashes past Weiss easily.

In Ep06, Ruby materializes out of no where to attack the Beowolves.

In Ep08, Weiss dashes past Yang and makes it to Ruby before the Deathstalker stings her

And also in Ep08: Blake dances around the Nevermore's face with relative ease it looks like.

Oh yeah, don't get me started on the Red Trailer: Ruby literally activates her semblance and kills a pack of Beowolves, all before the first bullet lands.

And Team JNPR must scale similary to this as they seem about as fast when they're near each other and running, or fighting eachother. And I believe some of the speed feats have been calculated to be above Mach 1, which makes JNPR in turn, above Mach 1 or close to.

So Jaune could most likely speed blitz Cap.

That's just my opinion though.
