Hello Student
I molar solution represents that one mole of any solute is present in 1 L of solution.
It seems as you want to know about i molal solution. I molal solution indicates that 1 mole solute is present in 1 kg solvent. If the solvent in both the cases is water than 1molal would be more concentrated than 1 molar.

So, the mass of solvent (i.e. water) is less than 1000 gram. Therefore 1 molar aqueous solution contains 1 mole of solute in less than 1000 gram of solvent . Whereas 1 molal solution has 1 mole of solute in 1000 gram of solvent. Hence concentration will be more in 1 molar aqueous solution.
