The MacBook Pro has the bigger battery but it probably is only about 2 to 3 hours more than the MacBook Air.
In my testing, the MacBook Pro 16 M3 Max got 19 hours of web browsing and 27 hours of video. I'm really not sure what the MacBook Air 15 M3 gets, but the M2 was pretty close in web browsing (no video results).
There might not be much difference. Both are excellent, but of course, the MacBook Pro 16 is so much more powerful and has a more power-hungry mini-LED display.
