The general rule is that the acid is stronger if it has more O atoms in a series such as this. Hclo4, perchloric acid, is a very strong acid as is Hclo3. Hclo2 is a weak acid and Hclo is even weaker.

Answer:
Greater the number of negative atoms present in the oxy-acid make the acid stronger. In general, the strengths of acids that have general formula (HO)mXOn bond are drawn more strongly away from the H-atom. The net effect makes it easier from the proton release and increases the acid strength.
