Hey the answer of this question is
Benzoic acid is the stronger acid compared to ethanoic acid. This is due to the delocalisation of the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom into the benzene, increasing the polarity of the -OH bond and thus makes the cleaving of the H+ ion easier. ... If electron density is more than the basic character is more.
I hope it is help for u
