Even though the concentration of both the solutions is apparently same ,NaCl being ionic dissociated into ions of sodium and chlorine whereas glucose doesn't.
Therefore the vant hoff factor for NaCl is 2 and glucose is 1.
Since the osmotic pressure is equal to the product (i×C×R×T)
where i is the vant Hoff factor.
Accordingly the osmotic pressure of NaCl is more.
