I assume that you mean θ < π/4
Range of a projectile R = u²sin(2θ)/g
sin(-2θ) = cos(2θ)
sin(+2θ) = cos(2θ)
for angle of projection - θ
sin(2 (-θ)) = cos(2θ)
for angle of projection + θ
sin(2 (+θ)) = cos(2θ)
By careful observation you'll see that both the ranges are same for angles of projection (-θ) and (+θ)
Hence ratio of ranges is 1:1
