The heavy person standing on the bed will create a greater pressure than the lighter person lying on the bed because
P=F/A which means Force is directly proportional to Pressure more is the force, more is the Pressure . Similarly , Area is inversely proportional to Pressure .Less area creates more pressure. In case of the heavy person both conditions are satisfied . So The Heavy person creates a larger pressure.

Answer:
A heavy person standing on the bed will create greater pressure because the mass of the standing person is heavier than the light person even if he is lying on the bed.
