Answer:
Benzyl cation has more resonance forms, and a greater distribution of the cation over more atoms. These are models for rationalizing the data. The data is that benzyl cation [PhCH2]+ is indeed more stable than allyl cation [CH2CHCH2]+ when one measures the gas phase hydride ion affinities in kcal/mol.

Allyl carbocation is more stable due to the presence of resonance.
H2C = CH - CH2 - CH = CH2
Positive charge is stabilised by double bond.
