Momentum p = m·v. If every object has the same velocity, momentum is proportional to mass — the object with the largest mass has the most momentum.
Example: v = 2 m/s, masses 1 kg, 3 kg, 5 kg → momenta 2, 6, 10 kg·m/s, so the 5 kg object has the most momentum.
(If you mean relativistic speeds, p = γmv; γ is the same for the same v, so the heaviest object still has the most momentum.)
