You can't be sure. Although Glorfindel killed a balrog, he died himself. And at the battle in Arnor, the witch-king flees when Glorfindel arrives, fearing a confrontation. And it is Glorfindel who drives the nazgûl into the river Bruinen, just be threatening them. Remember, the greatest weapon of the nazgûl was the fear their enemies had for them, and a balrog has no reason to fear a ring-wraith, who has no weapons to harm a balrog. I think the balrog would kill the ring-wraiths easily.
