Hello, Dalhia.
Others have already given a useful suggestion for comparing the two
coefficients.
You should investigate the reason(s) for the collinearity problem that
you are reporting. If x1 and x2 are continuous variables, it may be
helpful to center them (at their mean or at some other convenient
value).
What was the actual model that produced the collinearity problem?
