If you change the gearing to get the same top speed with either btteriesthe 5s will likely give you a longer run time.

18.5v * 3700mah = 68450
14.8v * 3700mah = 54760

More potential energy in the 5s pack.

The higher rpm the motor will turn will likly negate some of the extra energy, but by gearing it down to get the same top speed you should get at least some runtime advantage.
