Answer:

Benzoic acid is less soluble in water than acetic acid because benzoic acid has a benzene moiety attached to it which is purely organic and non-polar in nature this decreases its solubility in water while ethanoic acid is more soluble because the organic part is smaller in size so it is can easily form Hydrogen bonds .
