Hi, hope this helps u
Explanation:
Phenol is more acidic than cresol because in case of cresol there is one electron donating -CH3 group which increases the electron density on oxygen of cresol ( hyperconjugation and +I effect )and this leads to loss of proton little difficult as O-H bond become strong due to more electron density between them
