Lexicographic preferences

Sia
Agent a lexicographically prefers y to x.
Agent b has a utility function: U=x+log y
 The set of all possible competitive equilibrium prices consist of all px>0 and py>0
What will be the price ratio px/py?

How do we solve this without knowing the endowments of the agents?
