1- acidity depends upon stability of its conjugate base . 
2- if u compare both the stability of propanoic acid is much more after loosing proton by resonance . 
3- whereas acryl group doesnot show resonance by deprotonation . 
4- therefore acryl acid will be strong acid than propanoid acid . 
hope it clears 
ALL THE BEST ..
