If your pi bond refers to the p-p orbitals overlapping, then pi bond is weaker than sigma bond. Double bond is stronger than single bond because double bond consists of a pi bond and a sigma bond. ... Whereas sigma bond results from s-orbital overlap which has greater area of interaction and overlapping.

◇ Sigma bonds σ are stronger than pi (π) bonds. Because Sigma bonds are formed from bonding orbitals directly between the nuclei of the bonding atoms, resulting in greater overlap and a strong sigma bond (axial overlapping).
