The molar conductivity of a solution of a weak acid $HX$ $(0.01 \ M)$ is $10$ times smaller than the molar conductivity of a solution of a weak acid $HY$ $(0.10 \ M)$. If $\lambda_{X^{-}}^0 \approx \lambda_{Y^{-}}^0$,the difference in their $pK_a$ values,$pK_a(HX) - pK_a(HY)$,is (consider degree of ionization of both acids to be $\ll 1$)
