Answer

The final charge on each capacitor will be equal.

Work Step by Step

At equilibrium, there will be no current in the part of the circuit with the capacitor because the potential difference across the capacitor will be equal to the battery voltage. Note that $~~Q = CV$ Therefore, at equilibrium, the final charge on each capacitor will be equal.
