Answer: accelerate at different rates.
Explanation: During the collision the two objects exert equal and opposite forces on each other (Newton's 3rd law). Because a = F/m, the same force produces different accelerations if the masses differ, so their accelerations (magnitudes) will be different (and the accelerations are in opposite directions).
