Why 2,6-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is more acidic than 2-hydroxybenzoic acid followed by benzoic acid ?

Due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding of conjugate base of acid give extra stability to the conjugate base hence acidic strength increase for example salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) is more acidic than benzoic acid and 2,6-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is more acidic than  2-hydroxybenzoic acid.
