How do you determine which has a larger P-value?

1. Look carefully at the two scenarios below.  For each scenario, we are presenting a null and alternative hypothesis, along with a test statistic.  Which scenario will result in a larger P-value? 
 
Scenario #1:  Ho: p = 0.81 vs. Ha: p < 0.81, z = -1.7
Scenario #2:  Ho: p = 0.37 vs. Ha: p ≠ 0.37, z = 2.2
 
 
A.   Scenario #1
B.    Scenario #2
C.    Both scenarios will have the same P-value
D.   It’s impossible to answer this question without more information
