Explanation:
Electron-withdrawing substituents make a phenol more acidic by stabilizing the phenoxide ion through delocalization of the negative charge and through inductive effects. The effect of multiple substituents on phenol acidity is additive.

Answer:
Effect of Substituent on Acidity of Phenol
- As the acidic nature of phenol is due to the resonance stabilization of phenate compare to phenol. Therefore the presence of any substituent on aromatic ring which can stabilized the phenoxide ion will tend to increases the acidity of phenol.
