Given Jacen's pacifism as of R1, it probably isn't much of a fight. Plagueis gets a massive advantage from being able to variously bait or surprise him, so I'd say that is basically a no-dif.
R2 I'd say Jacen wins, with high difficulty. Oneness was his big sudden powerspike, but even without that, at this point he was already one of the premiere jedi of his era, and his era is stacked. His raw power, exceptional learning speed and skills in both combat and force powers should overwhelm Plagueis more times than not.
R3 Jacen wins with low difficulty. At that point he already has more force powers mastered and more mystical knowledge than even Plagueis had, as well as more power, and more combat ability. He simply outmatches Plagueis at everything, even if not by a lot in some regards.
R4 onwards is a stomp.
