Detailed Solution

Aniline is weaker base than ammonium chloride. In NH4CI or aliphatic amines, the non-bonding electron pair of N is localized and is fully available for coordination with a proton.

C6H5NH3(stronger acid)C6H5NH2+H+(weaker-conjugate base)

On the other hand, in aniline and other aromatic amines, the non-bonding electron pair is delocalised into benzene ring by resonance.
