Given that, the kinetic energy of the two bodies is equal. That is mass has a direct dependence on linear momentum. Hence, the heavier body will have a greater momentum.

Answer:
The lighter one has greater kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is related to linear momentum by
KE=momentum squared divided by twice the mass.
KE for a given momentum is inversely proportional to the mass.
So, the lighter mass has greater kinetic energy.
For two bodies having the same kinetic energy, the heavier one has greater momentum.
