Benzyl amine is more basic.
'Basic strength' is measured as the tendency to donate a lone pair.
In benzyl amine the lone pair is easily donated so it is basic.
Coming to aniline, the lone pair on nitrogen is involved in conjugation with the benzene ring and therefore is difficult to be donated, hence its basic strength will be less.
