Dear Apoorva,
CH2FCOOH is more acetic because of a high electron negive atom F in in it it will allow easy formation oh H+ ion and thus more acidic in nature.

Hi, Well the presence of a strong -I group (F) makes CH2FCOOH, more acidic than CH3COOH which has a +I group attached to it, which decreases the acidity. Hence CH2FCOOH isMORE acidic than acetic acid. Thanks

CH2FCOOH is more acidic due to +I effect of F
