How does a strong head wind effect runners of various body weights?

Let’s say that there are two runners who have identical 10k finish PR’s from a recent race.
One runner weighs 230 pounds.
The other runner weighs 150 pounds.
They’re now racing each other in a 10K directly against a 25 mph head wind.
Which runner do you think has an advantage while running against this strong head wind? (Light weight runner or heavy weight runner or neither?)
Thanks!
