It can be argued that the term "intelligence" is too broad and variable to be used as a base of comparison between individuals, let alone across species. However, there is not substantial evidence to say that the intelligence of apes (I assume you mean apes and not monkeys, being that apes are our closest relatives) exceeds our own. Rather, it can be equal to that of a human child's. This conjecture cannot be proven, though, because the different species of ape have their own cultures and customs, so we cannot say for sure how their intelligence compares to ours.
