the besicity of para methoxy aniline is controlled by resonance effect , so, drawing resonance structure , we see that the para methoxy group is pushing electron density into the ring . this tend to keep the nitrogen lone pair more localised in nitrogen .
so, THERE ARE ELECTRON ATTRACTION EFFECT OF METHYL GROUP .
FOR THAT IT WILL REDUCE THE CHARGE ON NH2
THUS DECREASING ITS BESIC CHARECTER OR BESICITY .
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT
