How would Pence have done against Hillary?

I don't know.

Pence was a grown-up, had integrity, experience, and maturity to go against Hillary.  He was NOT a protectionist, however, and I don't know that he'd have carried PA, MI, and WI.

Pennsylvania was very close to being the tipping-point state in 2012 so a normal Republican could still flip it, plus New Hampshire may be flipped with a different Republican. Pence is not that strong a candidate, and may be too far to the right, but he probably is a stronger candidate than Trump, especially since Hillary was also very weak.

Lol@people saying Trump was the only Republican who could have beaten Clinton because MUH RUST BELT REVOLT. I can't think of a single reason why Pence or Kasich would have done worse in Wisconsin, for example.

Indeed the evidence shows 2016 was a Republican year not a Trump year.

Donald Trump was the strongest GOP candidate and still lost the national popular vote.

The idea that Donald Trump was a strong candidate is ridiculous, all the evidence shows he was not, and the implication that Hillary was also a strong candidate is even more laughable.
