Concept:

Kinetic energy of a mass m moving with velocity v is equal to,

Kinetic energy, 

Momentum of a mass m moving with velocity v is equal to,

Momentum = mv

Calculation:

Given:

m1 > m2 and,

Two bodies have the same kinetic energy

We can rewrite it as,

----------(3)

Since m1 > m2 RHS becomes greater than 1, which implies

 > 1

p1 > p2

Hence, for the given condition  > 1 will satisfy the relation between momentums.
