Neither.

First off, there's something fishy about the file sizes. If they are both 44.1/16, then the 14 sec file should be bigger.

After sample-rate converting to 22.05 kHz., the new Nyquist is 11.025 kHz. The anti-aliasing filter should have removed any content above that so the file that originally had more content above 11.025 kHz is the one that is more adversely affected.

So, what tones or content is in the two files?
