it is so as O-nitrophenol form's intra-molecular hydrogen bonding within itself and there is no presence of associativity taking place...
In case of p-nitrophenol The hydrogen in functional group forms inter-molecular hydrogen bonding with water and so associativity takes place....
Due to which p-nitrophenol is more soluble in water than O-nitrophenol.
Hope it helps...
