The critical temperature we know is the highest temperature at which liquid exists above it is gas.

Given that the critical temperature of Carbon dioxide and Methane are.31.1 ^{\circ}C\ and\ -81.9^{\circ}C 

Higher is the critical temperature of a gas, easier is its liquefaction.

So, as the critical temperature increases the gas is now easier to liquefaction.

That means the intermolecular forces of attraction between the molecules of a gas are directly proportional to its Critical temperature.

Hence, Carbon dioxide has stronger intermolecular forces than Methane.
