It will depend on distance to subject and then to background. One of the reasons we used to use mild telephoto lens for portraiture was so that we stood back a bit and then the lesser depth of field of the telephoto took care of the background.

The older lens's used to have depth of field scales on the barrel and depth of field preview buttons that stopped the lens down so that you could see the effect in the viewfinder.
