In theory, the automatic will. Automatics weigh more, and all things being equal, adding weight adds momentum. Imagining like you said, both in neutral at the same speed in the same spot with same conditions, adding weight will increase the coast distance. Granted it's not too much weight, standards have weighed less in every vehicle I have compared the two transmissions.
