Solution

In both the compounds, a tertiary carbocation is formed so it depends on the tendency of leaving the group.
Quaternary ammonium salt:
It is a better leaving group so it will leave easily forming a carbocation.
On the other hand, $N (C H_{3})_{2}$ It is not a good leaving group.
Therefore it will proceed faster.
