Answer:

p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde

Electron delocalization in the anion of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is very effective because of conjugation. A carbonyl group is strongly electron-withdrawing and acid-strengthening, especially when ortho or para to the hydroxyl group. p-Hydroxybenzaldehyde is a stronger acid than phenol. Its pKa is 7.6.
