An electron and a proton have the same de-Broglie wavelength. Then the kinetic energy of the electron is greater than the kinetic energy of proton.
And we know that De Broglie hypothesis says that all matter has both particle and wave nature. Remember the idea of wave particle duality. That is matter having both wave and particle characteristics.
I can summarize that for two particles with equal momenta or equal wavelength, the one with the smaller mass (here, the electron) has more kinetic energy.
