If the two chains are in one object, then you need to split them into two
objects.  So if I'm working with the PDB file 1dvi, something like:

create cha, 1dvi & chain a
create chb, 1dvi & chain b

Then I can type:

set cartoon_cylindrical_helices, 1, chb

To make the chain B object have cylindrical helices, while chain A will
remain with the ribbon-style.

Cheers,
Rob
