Molecular mass of nitrogen and  sulphur dioxide are  28 and 64 respectively.
The smaller the relative molecular mass of a gas molecule, the faster it diffuses. So, nitrogen will diffuse faster than sulphur dioxide.  The lighter the weight the higher the rate of diffusion, nitrogen has less molecular mass and as a result diffuses more than SO2.
