Heya!!
➡️The presence of this group in the ortho position decreases the electron density in the O-H bond. As a result, it is easier to lose a proton. Also, the o-nitrophenoxide ion formed after the loss of protons is stabilized by resonance. For this reason, ortho-nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho-methoxyphenol.
