Out of the two gases mentioned, Methane difffuses rapidly because of its lower molecular mass as compared to that of Carbon dioxide.
The diffusion rate and the molecular mass of a gas have inverse relationship between them,i.e. when one factor increases the other factor decreases and vice-versa.
Methane is CH4 so molecular mass is approximately 16 g/mol whereas Carbon dioxide or CO2 has molecular mass of approximately 44 g/mol. Methane being the lighter one diffuses rapidly.
