The ease of hydrolysis depends upon the stability of carbocation formed. 
In case of allyl chloride the carbocation is resonance stabilized which does not happen in case of n-propyl chloride,  that's why it is hydrolyzed more easily

Hey !!

Allyl chloride shows high reactivity as the carbocation formed by hydrolysis is stabilised by resonance while no such stabilisation of carbonation exists in the case of n-propyl chloride.

 CH₂ = CH ---- CH₂ ---- Cl --(Ionisation) (SLOW) --> CH₂ = CH ---- CH₂⁺ + Cl⁻

CH₂ = CH ---- CH₂OH --(OH⁻)--> (FAST) CH₂⁺ ---- CH = CH₂

Now, on the other hand, n-propyl chloride does not undergo ionisation to produce carbocation and hence allyl chloride is hydrolysed more readily than n-propyl chloride.


Good luck !
