The strength of carboxylic acid can be discussed by positive inductive effect. Here, in ethanoic acid there is an electron releasing inductive effect from the alkyl group. The larger the positive inductive effect, the lesser will be the strength of an acid. Similarly in formic acid there is no alkyl group and hence no inductive effect takes place. So formic acid is a stronger acid than ethanoic acid.
