You have two options:

Using SharePoint Designer. (No code)

• Click Actions > List Actions > Update List Item.

• Click this list.
• In the Update List Item dialog box, change the List to your destination list.
• In the Find the List Item section, change the Field list value to the name of the ID field in your second list.
• Click the Workflow Lookup icon, In the Define Workflow Lookup dialog box, change the Field list value to the name of the ID field in the second list.
