Phosphoric acid has basicity of 3 i.e it can loose 3 $\ce{H+}$ while phosphorous acid has basicity of 2. Why is phosphorous acid more acidic than phosphoric acid? Acidity refers to the ability to liberate protons. Phosphoric acid liberates more protons than phosphorous acid (as the basicity of phosphoric acid is 3 and that of phosphorous acid is 2). Why then is phosphorous acid more acidic than phosphoric acid?
