The lone pair of electrons, present in N-atom inanilineinvolve in ring resonance. So it is less basic thanmethyl amine

The benzene ring in aniline is electron withdrawing in nature. It withdraws the lone pair of electrons of the nitrogen and hence, is less basic. This makes the nitrogen to donate the electron more easily in methyl amine than in aniline. Hence, aniline is less basic than methyl amine.
