BeF2 is more stable than BaF2 because fluoride ion is a small anion and small anion is stabilised by small cation .Be cation is smaller than Ba cation.

Sorry i interpreted the question wrong BaF2 is more soluble than BeF2 because for molecules having small anions like flouride , oxide ,hydroxides etc solubility increases down the group because lattice energy decreases .If you fund it useful please approve it.
