The voltage induced is directly proportional to numbers of turns in each coil.

Explanation:

In transformers, the change in magnetic flux is due to the voltage induced in secondary coil. Both coils has equal number of turns and the total induced voltage is directly proportional to number of turn in each. The secondary coil have less number of turns so, it will have less voltage.
