Any inductive effect that withdraws electron density from an O–H bond increases the acidity of the compound. Because oxygen is the second most electronegative element, adding terminal oxygen atoms causes electrons to be drawn away from the O–H bond, making it weaker and thereby increasing the strength of the acid.
