Answer:

The electrostatic force is larger by a factor of 8.988E9 / 6.674E-11 = 1.35E20

Explanation:

William gave you all the ingredients, but not the answer.  Being both 1/r^2 forces (resulting from massless mediators in QFT), and with unit charges in the problem (1 coulomb, 1 Kg), separated by unit distance (1m), the only nontrivial numerical values in the problem are the constants of proportionality: Coulomb's constant (k) and Newton's gravitational constant (G).  So to "compare and constrast": the ratio of the forces is simply the ratio of these constants.  The electromagnatic force is 1.35 X 10^20 times stronger than the gravitational force.  Assuming positive charge on both objects (the problem is ambiguous on this), they are repelled, whereas the much weaker gravitational force is attractive.  (Gravity only has one kind of "charge" - it's unsigned - and the force is always attractive).  

The problem doesn't say the objects are pointlike: if they have some extent and are either conductive or made of some dielectric, then things get messy because the charge distribution on the object won't be uniform then, but save that for grad school. :-)
