✍Pi bonds are usually weaker than sigma bonds.
✍Quantum mechanics says this is because the orbital paths are parallel so there is much less overlap between the p-orbitals.
✍Pi bonds happen when two atomic orbitals are in contact through two areas of overlap

Answer :
Sigma bond (σ bond) is formed by the axial overlapping of the atomic orbitals while the π-bond is formed by side wise overlapping. Since axial overlapping is greater as compared to side wise. Thus, the sigma bond is said to be stronger bond in comparison to a π-bond.
