homework and exercises - Which clock runs faster?



Can someone help me giving a qualitative answer to this problem in General Relativity:


Imagine you are on earth with two perfectly synchronized clock's. If you hold on in your hand but you throw the other one in the air and catch it after a certain time interval, would they still give the same time?


I think that the one in the air would run faster but I cannot explain why.


Thank you!
