According to the third law of Newton, which states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction", this means that when an object 1 acts on object 2 with a certain force, object 2 also acts on object 1 with the same magnitude of force but in an opposite direction.
According to this question, a ball hits a wall with a certain force. This means that the wall will react on the ball with the same force magnitude, but in an opposite manner. Hence, the ball and the wall experience the same force.
