What can be said about the de Broglie wavelengths of an electron and a proton having the same kinetic energy?

An electron and a proton are accelerated through the same potential difference. The ratio of the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{p}$ to $\lambda_{e}$ is $[m_{e} = \text{mass of electron}, m_{p} = \text{mass of proton}]$
