Maleic acid, being a cis-isomer, is capable of forming intra-hydrogen bond after losing a H+, and that makes itself [the conjugate base] more stable than trans does. However, fumaric acid would not have this stablisation, and thus less H+ ion is produced.
Therefore maleic acid.
Therefore maleic acid.
