we know that
volume of the pyramid=(1/3)*area of the base*height

step 1
find the volume of the pyramid on the left
volume L=(1/3)*6*7*3----> 42 in³

step 2
find the volume of the pyramid on the right
volume R=(1/3)*4*3*10-----> 40 in
³

so
Volume L > volume R
42 > 40

therefore

the answer is
The volume of the pyramid on the left is greater by 2
