Depression of freezing point of a solvent(here water) is a colligative property of a solution i.e., it depends on the number of solute particles irrespective of their nature relative to the total number of particles present in the solution. Therefore, more the number of solute particles, more is the depression of freezing point of the solvent. Also ionic compounds when dissolve in water, dissociate into anions and cations which depends on dissociation constant, so the van't Hoff factor, i must also be taken into consideration.
