Hey there !
Ammonia is a stronger base than phosphine because in ammonia the central atom Nitrogen is smaller hence electron density is concentrated with in smaller range and easily available. Whereas in the case of phosphine the size of phosphorous is large electron cloud is distributed in large area & not easily available.
Hope it helps you !
