here is ur answer
Maleic acid or cis- butenedioic acid, being a cis- isomer is capable of forming intra-hydrogen bond after losing H+ ion, making the conjugate Base (negative ion) much stable thanthe trans form (Fumaric acid) because both the oxygen atoms have strong interaction with the remaining H atom
