Is the word priorize the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word priorize (a conjugation of the verb priorizar) is identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese regarding its spelling, meaning, and grammar. The only difference lies in pronunciation. In Brazil, the final "e" is typically pronounced as a clear, soft "i" (/i/), whereas in Portugal, the final "e" is usually a very short, neutralized vowel (/ɨ/) that is almost swallowed.
