The correct answer is:
Point $P$ moves faster than point $Q$
In the case of pure rolling,

The topmost point will have velocity $2 v$ while point $Q$ i.e. lowest point will have zero velocity. Hence point $P$ moves faster than point $Q$.

The topmost point will have velocity $2 v$ while point $Q$ i.e. lowest point will have zero velocity. Hence point $P$ moves faster than point $Q$.
