In chloroacetic acid inductive effect due to the presence of chlorine group increases the polarity of hydroxide bond and thus makes it more acidic as compared to acetic acid.

Chlorine being a strong electron with drawing group. pulls the negative charge toward it self by inductive effect so that the negative charge density on the oxygen atom is reduced hence stabilizing the conjugate base of chloroacetic acid whil the negative charge of the oxygen atom in acetic acid is localized  and the conjugate  base is less stable.
