Ortho chloro benzoic acid because chlorine is more electronegative therefore it increases negativity as it is easier to lose H+ ion faster.

sorry Ortho bromo benzoic acid. because Ortho chlorine is more electronegetive than bromide and hydrogen bond between chlorine and hydrogen requires more energy to release the H+ ion.
