Problem 12.53 Acetic Acid vs. Formic Acid ?

hello,

Can anyone explain why formic acid is stronger than acetic acid? I don't fully understand what the solution means when it states that the CH3 group in acetic acid has electron-donating properties.


Please help.
Thanks!

I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
