Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

Yes, the electron can have the same de Broglie wavelength provided that the velocity of the electron becomes 2000 times larger than that of the proton. This is because the de Broglie wavelength depends on the mass as well as the velocity (hence momentum) of the particle.
