The Air's nearly 17 hours in our own tests leads me to expect the same or better from the Pro. Apple also claims up to 20 hours of video playback battery life, which we are currently testing. For the extra $300 on the Pro, you're getting a slightly brighter screen the Touch Bar and a larger body with "active cooling," otherwise known as a fan, which can allow the M1 to run at peak speeds for longer without throttling down. It's more expensive than the Air by a good amount, but uses an almost identical M1 (with eight GPU cores, versus seven GPU cores on the Air), as well as having the same 8GB RAM/256GB SSD base configuration.
