Given information

There is an equal amount of nitrogen and xenon in a flask at room temperature. 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The partial pressure exerted by the gas molecules depends upon their average velocity. The greater the velocity, the greater the pressure. The molar mass of nitrogen is less compared to that of xenon, so the average velocity of nitrogen atoms will be greater than that of xenon atoms.
