The DeBroglie wavelength at non-relativistic velocities is

λ=hp=hmv=hm2Em−−−√=h2Em−−−−√

using

E=12mv2⟺v=2Em−−−√

Since mp>>me, for the same kinetic energy E the DeBroglie wavelength for the proton is much smaller (by the factor memp−−−√) than that of the electron.

So to answer your question: the electron has the larger DeBroglie wavelength. This qualitative answer does not change if you consider relativistic velocities.
