Intramolecular hydrogen bonding in salicylic acid stabilizes the conjugate base and increases its overall acidity compared to non-chelated analogs.

The analysis

The retrieved literature (specifically papers [0] and [2]) confirms the chemical principle that intramolecular hydrogen bonding in salicylic acid plays a critical role in determining its ionization constants and acidity.
