A compound is more acidic if the corresponding conjugate base is more stable, i.e the negative charge developed gets distributed or delocalised.In aromatic amide, the aromatic ring is electron withdrawing so it delocalizes the excess charge and hence stabilizes the compound which is not seen in aliphatic amides, so you see Aromatic amide IS MORE ACIDIC tha aliphatic amide.

Acidic strength is directly proportional to stability.
In aromatic ring due to resonance the amide stability increases and hence acidity increase.However in aliphatic compound three is no such effect hence Aromatic amides are more acidic

Its so simple.i think you know by aeromiticity compound become stable.and hence more stable means more acidic.so aerometic amine is more acidic.
