The question raises a false premise. Paul was not charged with preaching a new religion; to the Romans, the early Jesus movement was merely a sect of Israelite religion. But, Emperor Claudius (42-54 CE) issued a decree that applied to the Jews, and that may be what the question has in mind. This decree allowed the Jews to freely practice their religious beliefs, but, in return, the Jews were not allowed to proselytize their religion to others. So, Paul's missionary efforts to Gentiles (non-Jews) was in direct violation of this decree.
It is said that the apostle Peter was executed during the reign of Nero. The disciple Paul is also said to have lost his life around the same time.
I believe that this would be Paul. Because of his insistance in preaching the gospel, and even though he was a Roman citizen he was put to death.
A second-century tradition was that Peter was beheaded on the orders of the Emperor Nero, while a later tradition was that Peter was crucified upside down. However, it is good to ignore many such legends that arise without any eidence to support them. We have no reason to believe that Paul was executed, whether by beheading or crucifixion.
The Greeks gradually adopted Christianity due to a combination of factors, including the appeal of its teachings of hope, salvation, and community, which resonated with many in a society experiencing political and social upheaval. The conversion was also facilitated by the efforts of missionaries, such as the Apostle Paul, and the eventual endorsement of the religion by the Roman Empire, particularly after Emperor Constantine's Edict of Milan in 313 AD. Additionally, the decline of traditional pagan practices and the desire for a unified belief system contributed to the shift towards Christianity.

Acts is quite clear that Peter received information from an angel and then promoted and participated in the practice of preaching to non-Jews - before Paul had started his mission.
