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.

Answer:
So, allyl carbocation, formed after the removal of Cl atom, is stabilised through Resonance. Whereas in n-propyl chloride, the carbocation formed is stabilised only by +I effect of ethyl group attached to the carbocation.
