para nitro benzoic acid is more strong acid because in resonant structures you may be able to see that the negative charge resides only on ortho and para positions and nitro group reduces the electron density that is it is an electron withdrawing group
since meta position dosen't have any negative charge there wont be any effect of nitro group due to it but in case of para position the electron density will decrease leading to more acidity
