Pyridine is more basic than quinoline. This is because the nitrogen atom in pyridine is more readily available to accept a proton compared to the nitrogen in quinoline due to the presence of an additional ring in quinoline which delocalizes the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom, making it less basic.
