"pumped up" is getting very excited about something, while "determined" is having a strong will to do something.

“Pumped up” = excited
“Determined” = to have purpose/resolve/or intent. You aren’t likely to change your mind when you are determined to do something.
“I was pumped up about the next school year.” = excited for the next school year
“I was determined to do well in the next school year.” = motivated for the next school year
You can be feeling both pumped up, and determined about something.

"Pumped up" is a casual way to say "very excited."
Example: I'm so pumped up for the party tonight!
"Determined" means firmly committed to do something.
Example: I am determined to win this competition.
