There isn't such a thing as more aromatic. Something is aromatic or not.

If you are referring to the stabilization due to aromaticity, naphthalene has more electrons in the stabilizing Pi-system is therefore more stabilized.

As two benzene ring in naphthalene shares a pair of e- hence n0 12-pi e- are present.This dec. the resonance energy and reduces aromaticity . Thus naphthalene is less aromatic but more reactive than benzene.
