It would definitely be close, for a number of reasons:

-Chie's Persona basically makes the match into a 2 on 1

-I don't know if Merc is faster (Both are capable of dodging lightning), but he's definitely smarter, plus he's not afraid to fight dirty

-Chie does possess some magic skills, but her specialty is physical attacks

-That being said, Chie has no form of healing

-Chie has also fought enemies (like Izanami) that would stomp Mercury in an instant

-Chie wouldn't be able to take advantage of her Persona's elemental resistances, since Merc doesn't really use a lot of elemental Dust, except for maybe wind. That being said, Mercury wouldn't be able to take advantage of Chie's weakness to fire

-Mercury has recieved far more training than Chie. Chie 'trains' but to quote the youtuber Fither, "it's basically that fake Dragon Ball training you do when you're little". Merc, on the other hand, was raised and trained by an assassin who was good enough that Cinder sought out his services for hunting down the Fall Maiden.
