Hi friend,
Higher the value of pKb lesser is the acidic character .
Aniline has higher pKb than methylamine because methylamine is more acidic than aniline as in methylamine delocalistion of lone pair of electrons belonging to nitrogen occurs as a result resonance structures are formed which increase the acidic character of methylamine as a result it has lesser pKb value.
